Two issues are addressed in this research: the effect of women's work expectations for age 35 on labor market attachment during child rearing years and the extent to which widespread sociodemographic change over the 1970's conditioned the effect of work expectations on the extent of employment. Data from the NLS Young Women's cohort are used in estimating the employment experience of women in the sample. Findings indicate that employment expectations significantly increase the length of women's employment and that some of the effects of sociodemographic change did condition the effect of work life plans.
