1.	The Age Mix of the Labor Force in 1990: Implications for Labor Market Research In: Changing Composition of the Workforce. A.S. Glickman, ed. New York, NY: Plenum Press, 1982 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Bureau of Labor Statistics; Career Patterns; Discrimination, Age; Life Cycle Research; Research Methodology; Sex Equality; Work Attitudes This article reviews problems associated with the labor force projections produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and advocates a more behavioral approach. The authors summarize the findings of recent efforts among economists to incorporate social and psychological variables into models of labor market behavior and find that future research is needed: (1) to determine the degree to which the effect of the projected changing age structure of the population varies across different segments of the labor market and over different stages of the life cycle and time periods; (2) to determine why those members of the baby boom cohort who experienced long and/or frequent spells of unemployment will probably be more likely than others to suffer labor market problems throughout their careers; (3) to improve both the conceptualization and measurement of labor force data to capture more adequately the varying degrees of attachment to the labor force and varying degrees of intensity of job search; (4) to understand better the dynamic forces producing strains among women managing dual careers; and (5) to point up problems of age discrimination in employment, which may begin to rival race and sex-based forms of labor market inequality in future decades.

2.	Multi-ethnic Comparison of Risk and Protective Factors for Adolescent Pregnancy Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal 17,2 (April 2000): 79-96. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/vr818066h0001039/ Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation Keyword(s): Adolescent Fertility; Ethnic Groups; Hispanics; Marriage; Mothers, Adolescent; Poverty; Pregnancy, Adolescent; Racial Differences; Risk-Taking; Self-Esteem; Substance Use Data from a longitudinal cohort study, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, were used to examine the differences in risk and protective factors for adolescent pregnancy among four ethnic groups--non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians. The objective was the identification of differential predictors for adolescent pregnancy among each ethnic group included in the analyses, as well as better comprehension of the differences among women who experienced a teen pregnancy compared to those who did not. Teen pregnancy was defined as having reported a pregnancy at age 19 yrs or younger. The model for this sample of 5,053 women (aged 23-31 yrs at the time of the survey) indicates that higher self-esteem and a higher level of maternal education are protective factors; living in poverty as a young teen, substance use, and adolescent marriage are factors associated with an increased risk for teen pregnancy. Further, the results indicate that unique sets of predictors exist for each ethnic group. Implications of these findings are discussed. ((c) 2000 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Weight Discrimination: A Multidisciplinary Analysis Employee Responsibilities and Rights Journal 12,1 (March 2000): 9-24 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation Keyword(s): Discrimination; Discrimination, Job; Employment; Gender Differences; Obesity; Wage Effects; Weight Using data from the 1988 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience of Youth on 12,686 Ss (aged 23-30 yrs at onset) the authors estimate weight-based wage penalties for young men and women. It was found that mildly obese (20% over standard weight) White women experience greater wage penalties than Black men experience for weight that is 100% over standard weight. Men do not experience wage penalties until their weight exceeds standard weight by over 100 lbs. ((c) 2000 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved).

New York, NY: Plenum, 1994 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Family Constraints; Family Size; General Assessment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Maternal Employment; Stress; Well-Being; Working Conditions Perhaps the most dramatic change in stress research in the last decade has been the enlarged understanding of what constitutes stressful circumstances. Much early stress research focused on discrete stressful events that had a clear onset. These events were sometimes clearly beyond the control of the individual and sometimes partially attributable to individual characteristics or actions. All of these events could be located in time; a researcher could compare well-being before and after their occurrence, and chart the duration of their effects. However, some of the most stressful conditions that humans face are not captured in this conceptualization. These are what have come to be referred to as chronic stressors, the demands and constraints that are an ineluctable part of social and economic arrangements. Primary are the relatively stable conditions associated with normatively expected adult occupational and family roles that individuals face in the boardroom, behind the word processor, or on the assembly line, and must consider their repercussions on everyday family interaction. Conversely, the search must include the recurring emotional and instrumental tasks that adults face as spouses and as parents, and must consider their effects on the individual well-being of all members of the family. Tracing the intergenerational repercussions of structured occupational arrangements is an important developing area of study.
