Early Work Plans, Actual Work Behavior, and Wages of Young Women Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1983. Also: http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/009872114 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Labor Force Participation; Occupational Aspirations; Wages, Young Women; Work History Data from the NLS were used to examine how young women's work plans affect their subsequent work experiences and earnings. Results indicate that over 80 percent of women who consistently planned to work in the early interview years were in the labor force in 1980, but about half of the women who had not planned to work were also in the labor force. Women who had not planned to work appear to have changed their plans because of divorce, low earnings of their husbands, or because their own earnings potential was high. Women who had planned to work failed to realize their plans if they had large families or more children than they had expected. After controlling for education and actual work experience, wages of women who consistently planned to work were about 30 percent higher than those of women who never planned to work. |
