Cross-Substitution Between Husband and Wife as One of the Factors Determining the Number of Hours of Labor Supplied by Married Women Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, 1972 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Child Care; Children; Employment; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Household Income; Husbands; Unemployment Rate; Wages; Wives This paper investigates the determinants of variations in number of hours of labor supplied by married women during the survey week. The supply of labor is found to be positively related to a woman's hourly wage rate, her health, permissive attitude toward propriety of women working on the part of herself and her husband, and to the demand for female labor in the local labor market where the respondent resided. On the other hand, the supply of labor is negatively related to the amount of income available to the family without her own working, her "home wage" (a measure of child care burden), and to the husband's annual earning capacity relative to the wife's (cross substitution effect). |
