1.	Short-Term Effects of Marital Disruption on the Labor Supply Behavior of Young Women Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1979 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Divorce; Employment; Marital Disruption; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Work History This article examines the effect of marital instability on the economic status and the labor market activity of young women. Young women with children have a significantly higher risk of marital disruption and, as a result, the probability that total family income will fall below poverty is greatly increased. In addition, a positive relationship exists between the hours spent in employment and the level of the expected market wage. Likewise, the higher the educational attainment, the greater the ability for the woman to increase labor force participation.

3.	Determinants and Consequences of Occupational Information for Young Women Working Paper, Columbus, OH, Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1976 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Earnings; Employment; Schooling; Vocational Guidance; Work Attitudes; Work Experience; Work Knowledge; World of Work Test In this study, an examination of the determinants and consequences of occupational knowledge is carried out, using data collected from the NLS of 5,159 Young Women. The significance of various background factors as potential determinants of a young woman's occupational knowledge score and the effect of this score on subsequent earnings and occupational status are investigated. The report notes that the extent of vocational counseling was irrelevant as a determinant of the knowledge of the world of work score. It was found that the relevance of occupational information, as measured by this score, to predict early adults' labor market success was not as clear for young women as it has been shown to be for men.

4.	Socioeconomic Determinants and Shortrun Consequences of Marital Disruption Presented: St Louis, MO, Population Association of America Meetings, April 1977 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Divorce; Employment; Husbands, Income; Marital Dissolution; Marriage; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The primary objective of this paper is to highlight the extent to which economic factors play major roles in creating or precipitating the marital disruption process. Other variables reflecting attitudinal, legal, and duration and timing elements function chiefly as controls on the model. This paper was published in Mott, Women, Work, and Family: Dimensions of Change in American Society.

Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/351702 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Behavior; Children; Divorce; Family Influences; Husbands, Influence; Marital Disruption; Marriage; Welfare; Work Experience Using the National Longitudinal Survey of young women aged 14 to 24 in 1968 who were interviewed annually over a five-year period, a study was conducted to examine the relative importance of economic and noneconomic factors in determining the likelihood of marital disruption for young black and white women. A literature review showed that previous research lacked an interdisciplinary approach. The major economic factors examined consisted of the husband's earnings, improvements in financial position, debt accumulation, welfare accessibility, the woman's income, and number of hours worked per week. The demographic and social variables considered were the woman's education, age, duration of marriage, childbearing, growing up in a broken home, and urban/rural residence. Also the ease with which one can obtain a divorce in the state of residence was analyzed. It was found that (1) direct economic factors are less important as determinants of marital breakdown than socioeconomic background and demographic factors; (2) educational attainment, coming from a broken home, age, and duration of marriage are the most influential determinants; (3) racial differences are not significant. Topics for future research on this subject are suggested. (ELG)

6.	The Tempo of Remarriage Among Young American Women Journal of Marriage and Family 45,2 (May 1983): 427-436. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/351521 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Children; Educational Attainment; Family Influences; Marital Dissolution; Remarriage; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Work History This study uses data from the NLS of Young Women to examine the socioeconomic determinants of the timing of remarriage during the first five years following divorce for young white women who divorced for the first time between l968 and l973. The study concludes that, while socioeconomic and demographic variables are only moderately useful predictors of remarriage, not taking into account the effects that background factors have on the pace of remarriage can lead to significant misstatements of the importance of various factors for interpreting the likelihood of remarriage.
