An Analysis of Occupational Change and Departure from the Labor Force: Evidence of the Reasons that Teachers Leave
分析教师离职的时间点和原因，发现约67%离职女教师完全退出劳动力市场，新生儿是女性离职的最重要决定因素，并比较教师与非教师的离职行为。
This article deals with two problems: the timing of exits from the teaching profession and the reasons for these exits. Approximately 67 % of exiting female teachers leave the work force altogether. The presence of a newborn child is the single most important determinant of exits for females. The paper discusses why studies of quit behavior that simply include a person's total number of children may fail to capture the true importance of fertility behavior on a female's quit decision. It is also examined in this paper the return rates of departing teachers and compares the exit behavior of teachers to that of nonteachers.
