Self-employment: The New Solution for Balancing Family and Career? Labor Economics 13,3 (June 2006): 357-386. Also: http://ideas.repec.org/a/eee/labeco/v13y2006i3p357-386.html Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Women Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Education; Educational Status; Family Studies; Marriage; Maternal Employment; Self-Employed Workers; Wives; Wives, Work; Women We examine the hypothesis that white married women, particularly more educated women, are increasingly choosing self-employment as a strategy to balance family and career. We test two models using data from the CPS, NLS and NLSY, to examine the determinants of self-employment for women in the late 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Our findings suggest that married women with greater family responsibilities are more likely to be self-employed, and these impacts are stronger for more educated women. However, we find little support for the hypothesis that women are more likely in recent years to choose self-employment in response to family demands. |
