Young Women's Preferences for Market Work: Responses to Marital Events Research in Population Economics 3 (1981): 147-166 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: JAI Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Childbearing; Family Resources; First Birth; Marital Dissolution; Marriage; Motherhood; Work Attitudes; Work History The authors examine how women's relative preferences for market work and home work are affected by first marriage, marital dissolution, and first birth. The findings show that first marriage decreases market work preferences through age 24 but not beyond that age. Marital dissolution tends to increase market work preferences for ages 19 through 29. Finally, first birth has no immediate impact; however, 1 to 2 years later there are significant upward revisions in market work preferences. |
