Work Attachment and Home Role Among a Cohort of American Women Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Pennsylvania, 1976. Also: http://en.scientificcommons.org/2519277 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: ScientificCommons (beta) Keyword(s): Children; Family Income; Marriage; Migration; Schooling; Work Attachment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The marital and mothering demands of these roles (home role demands) of women were measured by marital status, family income, migration status, and age and number of children. The greater the demands, as measured by these variables, the lower the level of work attachment for women. It was also found that these patterns changed over time, in that if the home demands lessened, women increased their involvement in working and vice versa. These findings can be summarized in more detail as follows: (1) Marrying is associated with a movement out of work and divorce is associated with entry into work. (2) As family income (less respondent's) increases, women leave work and when family income declines, they move into work. (3) For most women migration is associated with a movement out of the labor force but for some young women it facilitates a movement into work. (4) As the youngest child ages, women increase their involvement in working. The arrival of a new baby has the opposite effect. |
