Changing Family Composition and the Distribution of Family Income in the U.S Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1983 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Earnings, Wives; Family Income; Labor Force Participation; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Unemployment Duration; Unemployment Insurance; Wages; Work History Unlike findings from previous research based on the full age range of the population, data from the NLS of Young Men revealed growing income inequality between 1976 and 1980 for families of the baby boom generation. Part of the growth in inequality occurred within married families, but the change was not a function of the rising labor force participation of women. For blacks as well as whites, the inclusion of wives' earnings in total family income decreased income inequality. Although we do not know what contributed to rising income inequality among married couples, a strong factor in the growth of income inequality across all household units was the rising proportion of female-headed households. |
