Sex-Role Attitudes and Employment Among Women: Dynamic Models of Continuity and Change In: Women's Changing Roles at Home and on the Job: National Commission for Manpower Policy, Special Report No: 26. Washington DC: U.S. GPO, 1978 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office Keyword(s): Employment; Husbands, Influence; Sex Roles; Teenagers; Vocational Education; Work Attitudes; Work History The authors explore the hypothesis that prior sex-role attitudes among women influence subsequent labor force behavior, which, in turn, affects later sex-role attitudes. They find that recent declines in sex-role traditionality among American women are likely to accelerate the desire for employment among whites, but that among blacks, attitudinal changes appear not to affect the future employment of current adult cohorts. For black adolescents entering the labor force, however, early market work will be important predictors of their future desire for work. Husbands' attitudes toward women's involvement in the labor market, particularly among whites, were also significant. Based on these and other findings, the authors present five public policy recommendations. |
