Determinants of Labor Force Participation of Married Women 30 to 44 Years of Age Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1972 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Labor Force Participation; Occupations, Female This report examines the factors determining labor force participation during the survey week in mid-1967 and the number of weeks in the labor force during the preceding 12-month period for married women. Both measures of labor supply are found to be positively related to a woman's wage rate, health condition, her own attitude toward the employment of mothers, and her husband's attitudes toward her working. Total family income less respondent's earnings and "home wage" are found to be negatively associated with both types of labor supply measures where the home wage reflects the number and age structure of children living at home. It is also found that irrespective of color women under the poverty level are much less sensitive to market wage variation in their labor force responses compared with the non-poor, which in part helps explain the fact that the black women's participation rate has been increasing at a slower rate than that of the white women in recent decades if considered in conjunction with the negative income effect. |
