Marital History, Later Training, and the Labor Market: Women's Experiences Social Science Journal 31,2 (1994): 127-138. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0362331994900132 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: JAI Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Job Training; Labor Force Participation; Marital Disruption; Marital Status; Wages; Women Using data from the NLS Mature Women's cohort, this study compares the acquisition of education and training after the usual schooling age among women with differing marital histories and measures the effects of that training as well as marital history on labor force participation and wages. Results indicate that women whose marriages ended acquired further training more often than married women. Women without husbands worked full time more years, making human capital investment important for them. Certain types of training (professional, technical, and managerial) resulted in higher wages. |
