Earnings, Occupational Choice, and the Early Years of Family Formation, White and Black Women: A Study from the NLS Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1977 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Assets; Children; Earnings; Family Background and Culture; Fertility; Marriage; Occupational Aspirations; Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Work Attitudes This project emphasizes the impacts of children and economic variables upon the labor force participation, hours and weeks worked, occupational and educational choices, and market wages of young women (NLS Young Women, l4-24). We find that the presence of young children in the home has a more important impact on the labor supply of young married women than do standard economic variables and that the impact of children and economic variables such as wages and husband's income is greater for young than for the mature women NLS sample. As to market wages, we find that the presence of a child under three reduces market wages and results in a lifetime earnings loss equal to roughly two years earnings. We also find differential child effects on white and black wages. We find that occupational and educational choices of young women are strongly interrelated and are influenced by home environment and family assets. Comparisons of married and singles and whites and blacks reveal significant differences. |

Relationship Between Fertility and Labor Participation of Married Women, White and Black Women Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1976 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Earnings; Fertility; Modeling, Probit; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Work Attitudes The report contains results of a study of the impact of fertility (number of children and child spacing) on the labor force participation, labor supply, and hourly earnings of married women 30-44 in l967. Literature surveys are included. The data source is the NLS of Mature Women. Regression models (OLS and Probit) of labor force participation, hours (weeks) worked, lifetime labor supply, and hourly earnings are estimated for white and black samples to determine the impacts of children, attitudinal and socioeconomic variables on labor supply and earnings. The sources of the black earnings differential are analyzed. |

The Regulation of Occupations and the Earnings of Women Journal of Human Resources 16,3 (Summer 1981): 366-383. Also: http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/jhr/1981ab/moore3.htm Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Earnings; Government Regulation; Occupational Status In this study, the authors use a human capital model to examine the effects of occupational licensing and occupational certification on the wage rates of individual women. Results indicate that certified women earn about 20% more per hour after controlling for the following: personal characteristics, regional location, human capital factors, and occupational category. In addition, evidence did not reveal a statistically significant premium. |
