Changes in Child Care Arrangements of Working Women: 1965-1971
Presented: American Statistical Association, Business and Economic Statistics Section, 1975
Cohort(s): Mature Women
Publisher: American Statistical Association
Keyword(s): Child Care; Mothers; Transportation

Child care arrangements of working mothers in l965 and l97l are compared in order to test hypotheses about the effects of demographic and economic changes on those arrangements. The results show an increased use of day care centers and family day care homes, which may be attributed to federally funded programs. Additional care by fathers and siblings was also observed. However, the following arrangements were significantly reduced: care after school by the mother, care by the mother at work, care in a relative's home, and care in the child's home by a nonrelative. It appears that the further a woman must travel to work, the less likely she is to care for her children.

A 1966 Replication of the 1962 Occupational Changes in a Generation Analysis of Older Men: Path Models as Indicators of Social Change
Presented: Washington, DC, Population Association of America Meetings, 1971

This paper used the l966 survey of Older Men to duplicate path models presented by Duncan and Blau for white and black men in l962. The models used education and occupation (status scores) of father, educational attainment of son, occupation (status scores) and current total income. Few changes in coefficients were observed between the two surveys. Some change in the effect of education on income for black men was attributed to changes in conditions during the period of the l960's.

Occupation, Employment, and Lifetime Work Experience of Women
Presented: New York, NY, American Statistical Association Annual Meetings, 1973
Cohort(s): Mature Women
Publisher: American Statistical Association
Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Employment; Life Cycle Research; Occupational Attainment

This paper presents a series of tabular distributions of occupation and educational attainment of women 30 to 44 years old in l966 by the percent of lifetime worked. It shows that the amount of lifetime work experience is largely conditioned by marital and motherhood status, and only secondarily by educational level. The paper also demonstrates the relationship between income and lifetime work experience within similar educational and occupational levels.

Income Differences Between Men and Career Women

The analysis of incomes for men and women 30-44 years old in 1967 presented in this paper shows that by considering only educational level, occupational status, and work experience, the income level for women can be predicted more confidently than for men. Women's pay is commensurate with effort and education, but incomes tend to cluster around the average rather than varying widely around the regression line. The absence of marked variation means that most women were receiving "just average" wages, regardless of training, job status, or experience. The income distribution of men, on the other hand, tends to be skewed toward higher income levels.

Changes in Fertility Expectations of Young Women: Evidence from Longitudinal Data
Presented: San Francisco, CA, American Sociological Association Annual Meetings, 1975
Cohort(s): Young Women
Publisher: American Sociological Association
Keyword(s): Children; Fertility; Sex Roles; Work Experience; Work History

This paper uses tabulations of two questions included in the l97l and l973 interviews of the NLS of Young Women. Several factors believed to account for a decline in the level of birth expectations were examined: changes in work experience and work plans, concern for population growth, and increasing attitudes toward a non-family role for women.

Birth Expectations and Working Plans of Young Women: Changes in Role Choices
Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1976
Cohort(s): Young Women
Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor
Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Children; Employment; Fertility

The report explores plans of young women for labor force participation, their expectations for childbearing and the relationship between these intentions. Data from the l968 to l973 waves of the NLS of Young Women form the basis for the research. In the first chapter, the short-run stability of young women's reports on the number of children they expect to have in their lifetimes is examined. In the second and third chapters the relationship between young women's childbearing plans and intentions to work at age 35 is explored using nonrecursive models which allow reciprocal causation between work plans and fertility expectations. Planned family size was found to have only a small effect on young women's expectations for employment.
