1.	A Longitudinal Study of the Determinants and Consequences of Public Assistance Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Pennsylvania, 1985. DAI-A 46/05, p. 1415, November 1985 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Education; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Welfare The study investigates the determinants and consequences of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Micro data gathered by the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) for Mature and Young Women cohorts from the late 1960s through late 1970s are used to construct a model that examines welfare recipience, taking into account various influences both proximate and remote. Within this context the nature of intergenerational dependency is considered. Among the basic study results is that of the importance of education (opportunity) as both a determinant and consequence of recipience. Accordingly, its role as an intervening variable in transmitting dependency across generations appears to be most significant.

Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1540-627X.00079/abstract Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: International Council For Small Business (ICSB) Keyword(s): Employment; Gender; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Self-Employed Workers; Wages, Women; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study uses data from the Mature Women's Cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience (NLSLME). The sample (n = 1,142) comprises self-employed, wage-earning, and nonemployed women whose cumulative employment is measured by employment status between 1976 and in 1995. Three multivariate regression models, one for each type of employment status, are used to control for sociodemographic and for other factors thought to influence health status in 1995, including health status in 1976. The study finds that unemployment resulted in a significantly negative health status in 1995 compared to women of similar age, while the effect of working for wages results in significantly positive health relative to women of similar age. Self-employment had no statistically significant effect on health status in 1995, thus indicating that the health of the self-employed, while better than that of the nonemployed, substantially was worse than that of wage earners.

3.	Psychological and Demographic Characteristics as Determinants of Women's Health Insurance Coverage Journal of Consumer Affairs 31,2 (Winter 1997): 218-237 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Council on Consumer Interests (ACCI) Keyword(s): Benefits, Insurance; Demography; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Marital Status; Psychological Effects; Women's Studies Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The study examines the role of demographic and psychological characteristics in determining women's healthcare insurance coverage. To assess the role of these characteristics, data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience (NLSLME), Young Women's Cohort, were used considering both a married and not married subsample. Overall, the results indicate that in addition to the influence of previously examined demographic characteristics, the role of psychological attributes is substantial particularly for the not married subsample. Findings suggest that in addition to policy aimed at increasing health insurance coverage by way of considering demographic characteristics policy should also consider psychological attributes.

4.	Competing Effects of Culture and Situation on Welfare Receipt Social Service Review 63,3 (September 1989): 359-371. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/30012031 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Young Women Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Education; Mothers and Daughters; Welfare; Work Experience Contributing to the long-standing debate about the relative influence of cultural and situational factors on welfare receipt, examined here are the competing effects of these factors. Analysis of microdata from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience for a subset of 549 matched mother-daughter pairs (covering the years 1966-1971 for the mothers and 1976-1979 for the daughters) indicates that both culture and situation influenced welfare receipt. Education and work experience were about three times as important as attitudes in explaining the variance in the number of years that welfare was received. 6 Tables, 2 Appendixes.

5.	Effects of Education on Business Ownership: a Longitudinal Study of Women Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice 18,1 (Fall 1993): 43-53 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Baylor University Keyword(s): Educational Returns; Self-Employed Workers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A study used data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience (NLSLME) to track the long-term self-employed business ownership experience of women between 1969 and 1984, examining their initial entry into self-employment, their continued survivorship in self-employment, and their reentry into self-employment. According to the results of the study, about two-thirds of the women who enter self-employment leave it after roughly 3 years, and a sizable portion of those women who have not exited self-employment after a few years stay self-employed for the remainder of the study period. The data also reveal a significant degree of reentry into self-employment. Moreover, the incidence of initial entry, continuous stayer, and reentry status among the women in the sample is positively related to educational attainment. The study's implications for efforts to increase business ownership among economically disadvantaged women are discussed.

6.	Long-Term Entrepreneurship Patterns: A National Study of Black and White Female Entry and Stayer Status Differences Journal of Small Business Management 32,1 (January 1994): 18-26 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: International Council For Small Business (ICSB) Keyword(s): Black Studies; Minority Groups; Racial Differences; Self-Employed Workers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article examines the long-term self-employment rate differences between black and white women in the U.S. Data were taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, that followed a sample of women from 1967-89. The approach uses a decompositional methodology to analyze black/white self-employment rate differences. Decomposition results indicate that differences in the probability of entry and differences in the pool of potential stayers account for about 90 percent of the overall self-employment rate difference between black and white women over the survey years considered. The study found that black women are far less likely to enter entrepreneurship than white women but that once they do they are only marginally less likely to stay. Moreover, the lower black entry probabilities directly translate into a smaller pool of potential black stayers and contribute to the black/white self-employment gap.
