Women's Labor Market Reactions to Family Disruptions Review of Economics and Statistics 71,1 (February 1989): 54-61. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1928051 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Harvard University Press Keyword(s): Displaced Homemakers; Divorce; Earnings, Husbands; Health Factors; Husbands; Labor Force Participation; Labor Supply; Marital Disruption; Widows; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the impact of different types of household disruptions on women's labor supply. Utilizing data from the Mature Women's cohort (1979, 1981, and 1982) it was found that newly discovered or separated women increase their work hours more than do new widows. If a woman worked 960 hours in 1982, the increase in work time for those women recently divorced or separated is 540 hours while the estimate for widows indicates a slight decline in work time. Non-significant reactions are found if the women's husband reports a new health limitation or the husband suffers ten weeks or more of unemployment during the year. |
