This paper reports on determinants of annual hours employed and labor force participation using the NLS of Mature Women. Labor force participation rates are considerably lower for women with young children. Labor supply is predicted for white and black women, married spouse present and widowed, divorced, and separated, for 1969, 1971, and 1974. Black and white women are found to have inelastic labor supply, but with increasing elasticity from 1969 to 1974. White married women decrease their annual hours of work in response to an increase in husband's earnings to a greater extent than black married women. |
