Social-Psychological Factors in Perinatal Labor-Force Participation Journal of Marriage and Family 48,3 (August 1986): 565-571. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/352042 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Age at First Marriage; Attitudes; First Birth; Labor Force Participation; Marital Status; Marriage; Work Reentry Using data from the NLS of Young Women, this study analyzes eight years of panel data from 895 white married women, with husband present, who had a first birth prior to the 1978 interview. The purpose of this research was to investigate social-psychological factors that may affect exit from the labor force prior to the birth event and reentry following the birth event. Covariance analyses suggest: (1) that there is a large and statistically significant effect of attitude toward married women in the work force on labor-force participation throughout the perinatal period (women with more favorable attitudes were more likely to be in the labor force); and (2) that the effect of attitude toward married women in the work force on perinatal labor-force participation is stronger than that of proximity to the birth event, age, age at first marriage, husband's income, or education. |
