Socioeconomic Changes Associated with Social Role Displacements in the Middle Years Presented: San Francisco, CA, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, 1978 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Divorce; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Transfers, Public; Welfare; Widows; Work History Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This research concerned the determination of income choices by women who have experienced a role displacement. Our findings corroborate other work which indicates that the divorced and separated generally receive more income from wages, and that widows use public transfer income when their children are young, but return to work as their children get older. We also found that health is a factor in choice of work or public transfer dependency. In addition to the limits that health places on the ability to work, mature women with equally poor health but unequal labor force histories and educations may utilize the limits imposed by health differently as they choose between public transfers and employment as sources of income. |
