Step Up or Step Back? The Impact of Non-Employment Duration and Reason on Women's Workforce Reentry Presented: Washington DC, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, March-April 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Occupational Choice; Occupations, Female; Re-employment; Unemployment; Work Reentry Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines the extent to which women change occupations and/or industry when seeking re-employment after a period of non-employment and whether women's reasons for job exit predict such changes in occupation and/or industry. Beyond whether young to middle-age women return to the labor force (considered in a previous paper), examining the types of jobs women attain upon return and the differences in their new jobs compared to the jobs they left will provide insight into broad labor force inequalities in the US, including gender inequality. This paper will use data on around 9,000 person-spells of non-employment lasting three months or more in the NLSY79 to examine these aspects of women's employment. I expect that such women will move out of more prestigious, perhaps better compensated, occupations and industries and into less advantaged areas where they are able to attain employment after being non-employed for a period of time. |
