Welfare Mothers: Barriers to Labor Force Entry Journal of Human Resources 8 (1973): 90-102. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/144816 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC); Family Income; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Marital Status; Poverty; Sex Roles (Editor's note: from Volume 8, the Work and Welfare Supplement): Using interview data from a national sample of 30- to 44-year-old women who were out of the labor force in 1967, reactions to a hypothetical job offer are analyzed. While black women are more likely than white to have responded affirmatively, there is no difference by potential eligibility for a family assistance payment. Among the potentially eligible, multiple regression (OLS) analysis shows that either (or both) (1) willingness to take a hypothetical job, or (2) required rate of pay is systematically related to marital status, receipt of AFDC, poor health, family income less respondent's earnings, and attitude toward the propriety of mother's working. |
