Women and Part-Week Work Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1978 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Children; Earnings; Employment; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Homogamy; Household Models; Husbands, Income; Unemployment This two-part report examines four aspects of the part-week job association of married women: (1) the proportion experiencing part-week employment; (2) characteristics increasing the probability of part-week work; (3) the wage effect from part-week in the work-life history; and (4) and the impact upon her unemployment experience. The data base is the NLS of Young Women (l968-73) and of Mature Women (l967-72). Over a six-year period, three of every five women who worked held a part-week job. The work history usually showed both part-week and full-week. The test of a household decision-making model found young children, more children, a higher-income husband, a lower potential market wage, and poor health among significant factors increasing the probability of part-week employment. Intervals of part-week employment increased the current wage less than full-week. At particular periods of potential work-life, no work experience was less depreciating of future earnings than part-week employment. Compared with full-week, unemployment incidence was less frequent, and no consistent differences were observed with respect to duration or the multiplicity of spells of unemployment. |
