Status Of Women

The authors examine the impact of mobility on the labor-force status of two-earner households in the United States, in a longitudinal context. There has recently been a resurgence of interest within industry and academia in the impact of family migration on the labor-force status of women, and on dual-earner families in general. Much of the research in this field has documented the disruptive effects of migration on the labor-force status of women, particularly with respect to unemployment, under-employment, and interrupted careers. However, there is another body of research that has challenged the disruption assumption with findings that many women benefit from family migration. The conflicting results persist when the modeling procedures account for the selectivity of migrants. Missing from the literature is a comparison of the impact of mobility on the labor-force status of men as well as women at varying geographical scales. The authors have used a new methodology to extend previous work on the impact of family migration by directly comparing the labor-force status of dual-earner households who migrate long distances, with that of households who move within the same labor market, and with that of households who remain residentially stable. The authors have used data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to show conclusively that, although there are disruptive effects, these are relatively short lived for most households. In addition, the results suggest that average changes mask very large variations in what happens to husbands and wives who relocate. This study emphasizes the dynamic nature of wives' labor-force participation relative to their husbands' immediately before and after a move, a finding that has not been established by other work on migration and labor-force participation.

The Impact

Abstract During the nineteenth century, Dutch female labor force participation (FLFP) was relatively low. Most scholars argue that social norms and rising wages were driving this development. However, their conclusions principally apply to married women. We study unmarried women’s LFP (UFLFP) and investigate a third driver: shifting sectoral employment shares. We include all three drivers in a logistic regression based on nearly 2 million marriage records from 1812 to 1929. We conclude that social norms and income levels mattered, but that shifting sectoral employment shares were driving the decline in UFLFP because sectors with low demand for female laborers expanded.

The Impact

This paper examines how labor market fluctuations around the time of retirement affect the labor force status and Social Security receipt of individuals ages 55 to 69 and the income of retirees in their 70s, using data from the March Current Population Survey, Census, and American Community Surveys. We find that workers are more likely to leave the labor force, to collect Social Security earlier, and to have lower Social Security income when they face a recession near retirement. The impact is greatest for the less-educated, who are more susceptible to job loss and rely more heavily on Social Security.

Women’S Labor Supply

The most prominent feature of the female labor force across the past hundred years is its enormous growth. But many believe that the increase was discontinuous. Our purpose is to identify the short- and long-run impacts of WWII on the labor supply of women who were currently married in 1950 and 1960. Using WWII mobilization rates by state, we find a wartime impact on weeks worked and the labor force participation of married white (non-farm) women in both 1950 and 1960. The impact, moreover, was experienced almost entirely by women in the top half of the education distribution.

The Impact

The article presents the results of a study aimed at determining the behavioral trajectories of women as a significant demographic segment, differentiated by gender, and identifying its significance for the process of formation and transformation of the market mechanism of the labor market in the Republic of Tatarstan. Forecasts of the impact of modern strategies of women’s labor behavior are substantiated from the standpoint of their determinant as a factor of demographic self-determination. In this regard, the strategies of women’s labor behavior identified by the authors allow to form a conceptually and methodologically justified model for managing the labor market mechanism in Tatarstan, including in relation to predictive decisions of a preventive policy for managing the market mechanism in order to optimize the use of the female labor force, creating demographically favorable conditions for increasing the number of qualified labor force, reduction of social tension and growth of socio-economic activity of the population in relation to the formation, distribution and use of labor force. The analysis of the obtained data allowed to identify four types of the correlation of the reproductive behavior of women and the strategy of labor activity chosen by them. The main types of labor behavior of women in the Republic of Tatarstan were identified as materially oriented, “health-caring”, “family-centered” and professionally oriented. The women interviewed in the study determine their reproductive strategies in accordance with the peculiarities of their self-realization in life, as well as with predetermined behavioral attitudes. Most women lack independence in issues of reproductive self-regulation. Consequently, in the choice of the nature and amount of work, most likely, women will not be completely self-sufficient. The authors also found that most women are focused on creating a family and having children. Thus, the main strategy of work behavior for them will be to combine work with childcare. However, it is worth noting that there are also a large number of young girls who belong to the “professional orientation” group and participate in primary and secondary professional integration. The results of the study led to the conclusion that the younger generation of women in the Republic of Tatarstan is focused to a greater extent on labor activity than on reproductive on
