Sex Differences in Early Contingencies in Attainment Report, U.S. Department of Labor, 1975 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Marriage; Occupational Attainment; Socioeconomic Status (SES) The effect of marriage and parenthood on educational and occupational attainment is investigated. The findings show that significant depressing effects on both educational and occupational attainments are associated with early marriage and early parenthood. For white women, age at marriage and parenthood are highly correlated and the separate effects of each are difficult to specify. In comparison, early marriage and early parenthood produce independent depressing effects for blacks. Females experience greater educational losses than males due to marriage, males show no loss due to parenthood, and females suffer occupational losses because of early marriage and early parenthood. |
