Work and Welfare: A LISREL Analysis of NLS Presented: Toronto, Canada, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, 1981 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Employment; LISREL; Marital Disruption; Mothers; Research Methodology; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study concentrates on the labor supply of women whose marital status is similar to that of welfare (AFDC) mothers. The LISREL analysis uses the maximum likelihood method for estimating the unknown coefficients in a set of linear structural equations. It allows for both errors in equations (disturbances) and errors in the observed variables (measurement errors) and yield estimates of the residual covariance matrix and the measurement error co- variance matrix as well as estimates of the unknown coefficients in the structural equations, provided that all parameters are identified. The results of the LISREL analysis show that none of the control variables of labor supply has significant effects on the labor supply of welfare mothers. |
