The Changing Lives of American Women
The Changing Lives of American Women
The authors identify basic features of womens changing lives from greater personal control over life outcomes to their greater independence relative to family claims and sum up the general picture with a concept of the woman as a primary individual. This story focuses on the women who married and gave birth to children in the baby boom of postwar America the women of the baby-boom generation itself and their daughters who are encountering a perio…

Changes in the retirement process among older men in the United States: 1972–1980
Recent changes in older men’s retirement patterns are investigated for the United States. The results show that labor force incumbents, particularly those in secondary occupations, experienced increases in the volume of both retirement and reentry to the labor force. In addition, although working life expectancy remained relatively stable across occupations, men in secondary occupations spent increasingly greater portions of their work lives in p…
The effect of marital status at first birth on marital dissolution among adolescent mothers
The effect of the sequencing of marriage and first birth on marital dissolution among adolescent mothers is investigated. We compare three groups who had a first live birth before age 20: those married before becoming pregnant, those married between conception and birth, and those who did not marry before the birth. The analysis demonstrates that teenage mothers are less likely to experience a separation if they marry before rather than after the…
The Timing of the First Birth and Changes in Personal Efficacy
Examines the psychological consequences of the 1st birth from the life-course perspective. The 1st birth is seen as a major life event subject to normative constraints regarding its timing. It is hypothesized that a too early 1st birth (age 18 or younger) has negative psychological consequences for the mother in the form of a lowered sense of personal efficacy. No such effect is hypothesized for those remaining childless or for those experiencing…

Differential Patterns of Female Labor-Force Participation Surrounding the First Birth
5 years of panel data from a national sample of women aged 14 to 24 are used to examine patterns of female labor force participation surrounding the birth of the 1st child. It is argued that declines in labor force participation prior to the 1st birth and increases in participation following the birth will vary by education economic well being and prebirth work experience. In each case the differential patterns of participation surrounding the 1s…
Canonical Correlation Analysis in Family Research
With the development of refined theory and increased measurement sophistication in family research, multidimensional concepts and multiple indicators are appearing with increased frequency in the literature. The resulting analytical challenges are especially formidable when the theoretical models require the analysis of two sets of multiple indicators. Although canonical correlation is a technique specifically designed to accommodate this problem…

Sex Differences in the Determinants of Occupational Status
This paper examines the equivalence of occupational status as it is assigned to typically male andfemale occupations. An argument is developed for the conceptualization of occupational status as a function of the nature of the occupational task. A determination is then made of the extent to which these occupational tasks contribute to occupational status and a comparison is made of the size of the contribution for male and female occupations. The…
Occupational Sex Identification and the Assessment of Male and Female Earnings Inequality
Recent research on sex differences in the process of earnings attainment has relied heavily on occupational prestige or status as a determinant of male and female earnings. Utilizing occupational level data from the U.S. Census and the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, this paper presents evidence suggesting that the use of prestige may lead to misspecification ws hen the earnings attainment of males andfemales is compared. The data reveal diffe…

Expected Family Size and Perceived Status Deprivation among High School Senior Women
Recent research and the increased visibility of the women’s liberation movement have raised questions concerning the influence of changing attitudes of women on their family size intentions. A sample of 238 high school senior women was drawn to test a causal model in which several structural variables and attitudes concerning the role of women were seen as influencing career, education, and marital expectations. It was proposed that these life-st…
