Women's Return to Work after First Birth: Differences between Blacks, Whites, and Hispanics Presented: Cincinnati, OH, American Statistical Association Annual Meetings, August 1991 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; First Birth; Geographical Variation; Hispanics; Marital Status; Psychological Effects; Racial Differences; Self-Esteem; Sex Roles Data from the NLSY, 1979-1985, are used to examine factors affecting the probability that women return to work after their first births. Compared are white, black, and Hispanic mothers for three postpartum periods: 0-3 months, 3-11 months, and 12-24 months. Findings show that the pace of return to employment was faster for white than minority mothers. Discrete time hazard models indicate that human capital variables (income, education, prebirth job experience) have similar effects for all three groups. However, white and Hispanic mothers also respond to sex role attitudes, marital status, and age at first birth. [Sociological Abstracts, Inc.] |
