Leuthold, Jane H.

Industrial and Labor Relations Review, v31 n4 p520-26 Jul 1978, Jul78

Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of women between 1967 and 1971, the author concludes that tax increases have a negative effect on the labor supply of married working women. Among the factors examined were presence of preschool children, husband's approval, home ownership, health, and educational background. (MF)
