The Market Work Behavior and Wages of Women: 1975-94
利用1975-1994年美国当前人口调查数据，分析不同出生队列、教育水平和年龄女性的劳动参与、工作时长和工资变化，发现教育差异扩大，未婚与已婚女性工作差距缩小，并考察工资变化对行为的影响。
Changes in the labor market participation and wages of women in the United States are analyzed over the period 1975-1994 using data from the Current Population Survey. Women are organized into nine birth cohorts five schooling groups and each year of age from 25 to 60 years and their weekly and annual work hours their annual work weeks their employment-population ratio and their real average hourly earnings tabulated. Schooling differences in work behavior have become wider in recent cohorts as have their wages. The relationship between work and wages is estimated for women of different ages cohorts and marital status. The gap between the work of unmarried and married women has narrowed and the role of wages (both the wages of women and those of husbands) is examined to determine the extent to which changes in wages account for these movements.
