Women in Their Forties Work and Family, Report 843. Washington DC: US Department of Labor, 1993. Also: http://stats.bls.gov/pdf/nlswk002.pdf Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Education; Labor Force Participation; Women This issue of Work and Family examines the labor market and marital status experiences of women in their forties using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women. These data track the experiences of women as they aged from 40 to 49 during the 1967-86 time period. Over 85 percent of these women worked at some time in their forties. On average, women worked 289 weeks, or about 58 percent of weeks worked by those who work a full-year each year during their forties over this time period. There are significant differences between women in labor force attachment and marital status transitions by race and education. In particular, among women in their forties, high school dropouts worked substantially fewer weeks, and were less likely to be in the labor force at both age 40 and age 49. They were also less likely to be married at both age 40 and age 49 than other women. |
