Morrar, Rabeh; Syed Zwick, Hélène – Journal of Education and Work, 2021
Although it might be considered one of the main vigorous distortions in the Palestinian labour market, qualification mismatch has not been studied by researchers in Palestine. We draw upon this gap using Palestinian labour force survey between 2009 and 2016. This paper therefore presents a multinomial logit model to identify the factors affecting…

Ramos, Jorje; Rodin, Jason; Preuss, Michael; Sosa, Eric; Doresett, Christine; Burleson, Chenoa – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2021
College students at 14 Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) in New Mexico and Texas were surveyed about their experiences in and perceptions of higher education. Three primary foci were students' employment status, work commitments, and means of financing college. Most of the informants reported working while in college and, similar to previously…

Maurer-Fazio, Margaret; Connelly, Rachel; Chen, Lan; Tang, Lixin – Journal of Human Resources, 2011
We employ Chinese population census data to consider married, urban women's labor force participation decisions in the context of their families. We find that the presence in the household of a parent, parent-in-law, or person aged 75 or older increases prime-age women's likelihood of participating in market work. The presence of preschool-aged…

Roksa, Josipa; Levey, Tania – Social Forces, 2010
While income inequality among college graduates is well documented, inequality in occupational status remains largely unexplored. We examine whether and how occupational specificity of college majors is related to college graduates' transition into the labor market and their subsequent occupational trajectories. Analyses of NLSY79 indicate that…

Blau, David M.; Goodstein, Ryan M. – Journal of Human Resources, 2010
After a long decline, the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) of older men in the United States leveled off in the 1980s, and began to increase in the late 1990s. We examine how changes in Social Security rules affected these trends. We attribute only a small portion of the decline from the 1960s-80s to the increasing generosity of Social…

Gupta, Sanjiv – Journal of Marriage and Family, 2007
I argue that both the dominant models of the relationship between earnings and housework, economic dependence and gender display, have fundamental defects. They focus on the effect of women's earnings compared to their husbands' on their housework and ignore the possibility of an independent relationship between women's own earnings and their time…

Cao, Yang; Hu, Chiung-Yin – Social Forces, 2007
This study examines the gender differences in job mobility in urban China. Conceptualizing China's postsocialist transition as a multi-faceted process, we argue that the emergence of labor markets, gendered role differentiation within the family, and the state's declining involvement in promoting women's rights lead to widened gender gaps in job…

Shaw, Kathryn – Journal of Human Resources, 1994
Data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (1967-87) revealed little change in persistence of female labor supply because women have tended to become continuous workers, replacing continuous nonworkers. Periods of reduced hours are now less prolonged among older women. Employment patterns now appear to develop before marriage. (SK)

Read, Jen'nan Ghazal; Cohen, Philip N. – Social Forces, 2007
Leading explanations for ethnic disparities in U.S. women's employment derive largely from research on men. Although recent case studies of newer immigrant groups suggest that these explanations may be less applicable than previously believed, no study to date has assessed this question systematically. Using 2000 Census data, this study tests the…

Grossman, Allyson Sherman – Monthly Labor Review, 1978
Labor force participation rates for divorced women remained higher than those for women of any other marital status, and divorced women were more apt to be in full-time, better paying occupations, according to employment statistics as of March 1977 for divorced, separated, and married women. (MF)

Herz, Diane E. – Monthly Labor Review, 1988
This article focuses on women aged 55 and older who work. It presents an overview of the group's work activity, occupational distribution, education, and earnings, and discusses these characteristics as they vary according to marital status and race. Data came primarily from the Current Population Survey. (JOW)

Sorensen, Annemette – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1983
Analyzed data on employment after marriage for a cohort of women born around 1938. Results show a decline in the propensity to follow a conventional pattern of leaving the work force due to marriage or childbirth. The double track pattern of employment during childrearing is more common. (Author/JAC)

Ericksen, Julia A.; Klein, Gary – Sociology of Work and Occupations, 1981
Examining the impact on women's employment of the changing family structure, the authors found (1) a decline in the effect of marital status on women's employment; (2) no decline in the effect of child status; and (3) a more complex relationship between race and employment status. (SK)

Greenstein, Theodore – Journal of Family Issues, 1989
Analyzed postnatal labor force participation data for married husband-present women (N=736) to study factors influencing length of time out of work force following first birth. Found human capital variables (education, prebirth work experience, and income) and marital and birth-timing variables (age at first marriage and first birth) significantly…
