The extent to which employment history & occupational segregation by gender & pay cause young married women's gender-role attitudes to change over time is examined. Longitudinal data are drawn from the youth cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience (1982- 1987) for a national sample of 2,499 women ages 22-29. The results show that (1) employed women were less traditional in their views of women's appropriate roles, (2) the sex typing of occupations does not appear consequential for women's gender-role attitudes over time, & (3) both pay levels & increases alter gender-role attitudes. 4 Tables, 12 References.
