This study uses data from the Mature Women's Cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience (NLSLME). The sample (n = 1,142) comprises self-employed, wage-earning, and nonemployed women whose cumulative employment is measured by employment status between 1976 and in 1995. Three multivariate regression models, one for each type of employment status, are used to control for sociodemographic and for other factors thought to influence health status in 1995, including health status in 1976. The study finds that unemployment resulted in a significantly negative health status in 1995 compared to women of similar age, while the effect of working for wages results in significantly positive health relative to women of similar age. Self-employment had no statistically significant effect on health status in 1995, thus indicating that the health of the self-employed, while better than that of the nonemployed, substantially was worse than that of wage earners. |

Long-Term Entrepreneurship Patterns: A National Study of Black and White Female Entry and Stayer Status Differences Journal of Small Business Management 32,1 (January 1994): 18-26 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: International Council For Small Business (ICSB) Keyword(s): Black Studies; Minority Groups; Racial Differences; Self-Employed Workers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article examines the long-term self-employment rate differences between black and white women in the U.S. Data were taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, that followed a sample of women from 1967-89. The approach uses a decompositional methodology to analyze black/white self-employment rate differences. Decomposition results indicate that differences in the probability of entry and differences in the pool of potential stayers account for about 90 percent of the overall self-employment rate difference between black and white women over the survey years considered. The study found that black women are far less likely to enter entrepreneurship than white women but that once they do they are only marginally less likely to stay. Moreover, the lower black entry probabilities directly translate into a smaller pool of potential black stayers and contribute to the black/white self-employment gap. |

Secondary Analysis in Entrepreneurship: An Introduction to Databases and Data Management Journal of Small Business Management 30,2 (April 1992): 74-86 Cohort(s): NLS General Publisher: International Council For Small Business (ICSB) Keyword(s): Behavior; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Longitudinal Data Sets; Longitudinal Surveys; Mobility; Self-Esteem Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. "Low-barrier-to-entry (LBE) research" is a term derived from Northwestern University's Denise Rousseau's efforts (1987) to describe research methods that rely on inexpensive or free-to-the-researcher techniques. Examples of LBE approaches for entrepreneurship research have been outlined before (Katz 1989); but more details on LBE methods are commonly needed because many of the approaches are not easy to use. This article focuses on one of the most daunting of these approaches: secondary analysis. This article discusses the process of secondary analysis, paying particular attention to databases that are potentially useful for the individual-level analysis of entrepreneurship issues. Evaluation covers NORC, ICPSR, commercial sources including LINK and BisCAP, and major database vendors such as Dun and Bradstreet or TriNet, and major database distributors such as DIALOG and BRS, NLS--the National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience, 1966-1986. The youth survey (NLSY) has been followed annually since 1979. The data here is extraordinarily rich, with extremely complete work histories, personal histories including school performance), and environmental characteristic lists. (The Panel Study of Income Dynamics is a distant second in this area.) The exact list contains the following categories: employment, education, training, work experience, income sources, marital status, health, attitudes towards work, occupational, and geographic mobility. Like the PSID described below, there is also a year-specific set of additional questions. The NLSY includes all of the above, as well as detailed transcripts, results of pyschological (locus of control, self-esteem) and academic tests, information on criminal activity, and a tremendous range of other behaviors. The data set is extraordinarily complex, and quite enormous, although it is subsetted so that topical surveys for specific subgroups are easier to load. |
