Part-Week Work by Married Women Southern Economic Journal 46,3 (January 1980): 716-725. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1057141 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Southern Economic Association Keyword(s): Children; Earnings; Family Resources; Husbands, Income; Part-Time Work; Schooling; Time Use; Wives Over one-third of mature women who are married with spouse present choose part-week work (34 hours or less) when they participate in labor market activity. Using data from the NLS of Mature Women, the determinants of the wife's allocation of time among part-week work, full-week work, and nonmarket production are estimated. The findings suggest that, other things the same, wives working part-week have either lower market earnings potential, higher income spouses, more schooling or more and younger children than full-week workers. Productivity and income variables also differentiate part-week workers from wives not in the labor force. |
