A Woman in the Labor Force: Factors Affecting Both Her Labor Force Decision and the Time She is Willing to Supply in the Labor Market M.S. Thesis, The Oklahoma State University, 1974 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: unknown Keyword(s): Labor Force Participation; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Variables, Independent - Covariate; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study analyzes a woman's labor force decision and the time she is willing to supply to the labor force once she decides to participate. Three models were developed: a labor force participation model (to determine how various factors affect the probability that a woman will enter the labor force); a supply of working time model (to determine the change in a woman's time at home--in the labor force--due to various factors); and an income differential model (to analyze how factors affect the incomes of working women). Each model includes social and economic factors as well as residence categories as independent variables. Place of residence does not significantly influence a woman's labor force participation decision, but a higher wage is needed in SMSA - nonfarm areas to entice a woman there to supply the same number of work hours as one residing in a non SMSA - nonfarm area. The income of a woman living in a non SMSA - nonfarm area is 82 percent that of a woman who resides in an SMSA - nonfarm area. |
