This study investigates the relationship between fertility and female employment for black and white wives, using the NLS of Mature Women. Findings are that fertility is a negative significant determinant of employment, annual hours employed is not a significant determinant of fertility, and labor force participation is a negative significant determinant of pre-school children (ages 0 to 5). Black and white women differed significantly in determinants of fertility and in determinants of labor force participation but not in determinants of annual hours employed. For black wives, husband's income negatively affects fertility, while for white wives, husband's income has no effect on fertility.
