Recent American studies use the life course perspective to analyze women's continuity and discontinuity in work force behaviour. These studies typically analyze longitudinal panel surveys to model transitions in work behaviour for different age cohorts of women. The research in the life course perspective examines the various pathways women choose and their perspective causal factors. The discussion is divided into two sections: one concerned with the structural factors that are linked to these choices, and the other concerned with the attitudinal factors.
