Part-Week Work and Human Capital Investment by Married Women Journal of Human Resources 14,4 (Fall 1979): 563-778. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/145324 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Earnings; Human Capital Theory; Job Training; Life Cycle Research; Part-Time Work; Wives This paper uses NLS data to examine the relationship between part-week work and the wages and postschool human capital investment of married women. The empirical evidence presented is consistent with the hypothesis that part-week workers and their employers will have relatively lower incentive to invest in on-the-job training since part-week work means fewer hours in the labor market than full-week employment. The effect of part-week work by women on the male-female wage differential is ambiguous because the labor force participation of married women is discontinuous over the life cycle. |
