This study of young and mature women examines trends in labor force behavior and attitudes between 1967 and 1972. Included are separate racial analyses of fertility, labor force employment, income, earnings and work and family attitudes for the two NLS cohorts. The study concludes that there are major differences between black and white female labor force trends with black participation declining and white participation increasing in recent years. The black decline primarily reflects labor force withdrawal of less skilled and educated women. The black women withdrawing from the labor force do not have work attitudes significantly more negative than their black and white working counterparts.
