Essays on the Labor Market Supply Behavior of Young Women Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Houston, 1980 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Fertility; Labor Force Participation; Labor Supply; Marital Status; Racial Differences This thesis consists of three essays on interrelated topics concerning the labor force activity of young women. Data used throughout the study is drawn from the NLS of Young Women. The first essay posits a theoretical model of labor supply and attempts an estimation of the labor supply function of young women aged 14-24. The second essay, using an altered version of the first essay's theoretical model, analyzes the labor supply function of young, married women aged 21-31. Finally, the third essay seeks to determine the factors which influence educational and occupational status aspirations and attainment and to determine the variables which translate these status goals into reality using the longitudinal data available. Throughout the essays, special attention is given to response differences of white and black women and the impact of children and family status on the labor force variables estimated. |
