Components of Non-Market Time and Female Labor Supply Patterns Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1979 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Children; Employment; Leisure; Work History The study examines the determination of labor supply patterns (in terms of hours per week and weeks per year) for married women. The analysis proceeds by defining two distinct types of non-market time which are uniquely associated with the labor supply patterns. A theory of demand for these "leisure" components is developed and estimated empirically using data from the NLS of Mature Women ages 30-44. The results indicate that women are not indifferent to the pattern of work time and that their choices are related to a number of economic and demographic factors. In particular, annual weeks is found to have a substantially higher, positive elasticity than weekly hours. |
