Birth Expectations and Working Plans of Young Women: Changes in Role Choices Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1976 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Employment; Fertility The report explores plans of young women for labor force participation, their expectations for childbearing and the relationship between these intentions. Data from the l968 to l973 waves of the NLS of Young Women form the basis for the research. In the first chapter, the short-run stability of young women's reports on the number of children they expect to have in their lifetimes is examined. In the second and third chapters the relationship between young women's childbearing plans and intentions to work at age 35 is explored using nonrecursive models which allow reciprocal causation between work plans and fertility expectations. Planned family size was found to have only a small effect on young women's expectations for employment. |
