Survey Says Women Struggling to Keep Pace on the Career Track New York Times, September 7, 1995, Section D; Page 2 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: New York Times Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Demography; Family Studies; Fertility; Gender; Labor Force Participation; Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Also: The Houston Chronicle, September 10, 1995, Business; Pg. 4 This article reports on Goldin's study of how successfully women balance career and family. The study, which analyzed NLS Young Women data, found that while the formal barriers preventing female employment have been removed, only one middle-aged college-educated woman in six with children could claim career success today. Even modestly defining "success" as earning better than the lowest 25% of college-educated men for two of the sample years, only 33% of women qualified, with just 17% percent managing both a career and children. Lowering the standard of "success" to all women employed full time at any wage during specific survey years, only 22% qualify. |
