Married Women in Part-Time Employment Industrial and Labor Relations Review 34,3 (April 1981): 413-425. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2522788 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Cornell University Press Keyword(s): Family Influences; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Husbands, Income; Job Tenure; Part-Time Work; Schooling; Wages; Work Experience This study examines three aspects of the part-time employment pattern of working wives: (1) wives' characteristics; (2) the level and structure of their earnings in part-time jobs; and (3) the duration of their employment when part-time jobs are available to them. The findings indicate that husband's income, family size, and the wife's health, race, and previous work experience are among the variables influencing the probability that the wife works part time. In addition, the level of wages and returns to some investments in human capital are relatively lower in the part-time labor market. There are also similarities between earnings structure of part- time and full-time jobs. In conclusion, part-time work opportunities appear to increase the length of the working life of married women. |
