Women in the Labor Force: Place of Residence as It Relates to Labor Participation, Work Time Supplied and Income Returns Presented: Champaign-Urbana, IL, Mid-Continent Section, Regional Science Association, April 1974 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Regional Science Association International Keyword(s): Family Income; Husbands, Influence; Marital Status; Residence; Rural Women; Schooling; Well-Being; Work Attitudes; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study is concerned with the role place of residence plays in determining female labor force participation rates, amount of work time supplied by women, and rates of income return for work time supplied. Residence categories have been delineated as SMSA-nonfarm, SMSA-farm, non-SMSA-farm, and non-SMSA-nonfarm. The general concerns are: (1) whether women have the same opportunities to fulfill work desires in rural and nonmetropolitan areas as in metropolitan areas and under what conditions; and (2) to what extent do comparable amounts of work time supplied in any of the residence categories contribute to family income and general well-being. If rural or nonmetropolitan areas are at a disadvantage relative to metropolitan areas for any of these concerns, long-run adjustments may well be reflected in future decisions of where families locate. |
