Labor force exits are conceptualized as a parallel option to employer changes in the gender-specific opportunity structure for employed young women, and it is hypothesized that the same working conditions should predict both. In addition, it is hypothesized that family characteristics (including pregnancy and the presence of preschool children) rather than working conditions should differentiate between job changers and job leavers. Logit analyses of data on a random subsample from the 1970-1980 Young Women's Panel of the NLS (sample = 2,740) indicate that employment conditions do affect decisions to change jobs or exit the labor force in similar ways. However, household factors affect labor force exits more strongly than they do job changes: pregnant women are more likely to leave the labor force, though improved job conditions and existing preschool children (implying prior experience with substitute care) enhance their likelihood of remaining continuously employed.
