Change in the Racial Composition of Occupations, 1960-1970: How Much Progress for Blacks
This study estimates change in the racial inequality of employment during the 1960s, a decade characterized by substantial economic growth and significant government antidiscriminatory activity. The focus is on the influence of (1) structural change, as measured by industrial and occupational growth, and (2) indicators of industrial structure (e.g., profitability, concentration) on change in the racial composition of occupations within industries…
The Labor Supply of Female Heads of Household: Comparisons With Male Heads and Wives
This paper compares a model of labor supply for female heads of household, male heads, and wives. Not only have female-headed households increased significantly as a proportion of all households in recent years, but these households are also more likely to be in poverty than are other households. Yet, the determinants of labor supply for this increasingly important demographic group still are largely unknown. Analyses are performed on a sample of…
Change in Men's Housework and Child-Care Time, 1965-1975
The object of this study is to examine change in men's housework and child-care time between 1965 and 1975, a period characterized by significant change both in women's domestic work and in their labor-force participation. Multiple classification analysis is employed to examine change in men's mean housework and child-care time, adjusted for several sociodemographic variables that also may have altered during the decade in question. Neither unadj…
Sex and Race in the Determinants of Psychophysical Distress: A Reappraisal of the Sex-Role Hypothesis
To explain women's higher rates of psychological distress, researchers often argue that sex roles differentially expose the sexes to variables associated with distress or render women and men unequally vulnerable to role-related stress. To test these claims, we use National Center for Health Statistics data on physical symptoms of distress, collected during physical examinations for 6,672 adults. Using multiple regression, we assess the independe…
Explaining Husbands' Participation in Domestic Labor
Three hypotheses of husbands' participation in domestic labor (i.e., housework and child care) are examined: (1) the relative resources hypothesis states that the more resources (e.g., socioeconomic characteristics) a husband has relative to his wife, the less domestic labor he does; (2) the sex role ideology hypothesis maintains that the more traditional the husband's sex role attitudes, the less domestic labor he performs; and (3) the demand/re…
Gender, Domestic Labor Time, and Wage Inequality
This paper explores the relationship between domestic labor and wage labor by estimating the relative influence of hours spent in domestic labor (e.g., housework and child care) on women's and men's wages. It is hypothesized that involvement in domestic activities negatively affects wages and is likely to be an important factor in explaining women's lower wages relative to men. Findings from OLS regression analyses of white, currently employed, c…
Major Labor Disputes in Britain, 1902-1938: The Relationship Between Resource Expenditure and Outcome
While there have been many studies of the frequency of strikes, only a few researchers (e.g., Snyder and Kelly, 1976) have studied strike outcomes. This topic has been ignored partly because the dominant perspective in the study of industrial conflict, the resource mobilization perspective, treats strikes as acts that contribute primarily to workers' long-term political interests. We argue that strikes are at least as much acts of economic instru…
