Consequences in Self-Employment for Women and Men in the United States Labour Economics 7,5 (September 2000): 665-687. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927537100000178 Cohort(s): NLSY79, Young Women Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Human Capital; Self-Employed Workers; Wage Effects; Wages, Men; Wages, Women; Women Many self-employed workers return to the wage and salaried sector of the labor market after some time. It is possible that the self-employment spell will lead to lower earnings or earnings growth upon return, due to depreciation of firm or sector-specific human capital. Using longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women (NLS), this paper examines the effects of spells of self-employment on the future wage and salary sector earnings of male and female workers in the United States. The results indicate substantial penalties arise for women, in terms of returns to experience, while there is little or no impact for men. |
