Gender Differences in Self-employment of Older Workers in the United States and New Zealand
This study examined differences in self-employment of workers age 50+ in the United States (N = 3,948) and New Zealand (N = 1,434). Separate logistic regression analyses were conducted by country and gender. For both U.S. men and women, lower income, higher wealth, and having an employed spouse increased the likelihood of self-employment. Older age, lower income, higher wealth, and household composition increased the odds of being self-employed f…
The "Sect Effect" in Charitable Giving
An examination of the charitable giving behavior of 16,442 households reveals intriguing patterns consistent with the club-theoretic approach to religious sect affiliation. The club-theoretic model suggests that individuals with lower socioeconomic standing will rationally be more likely to align themselves with exclusivistic sects. Because sect affiliation is also associated with more obligatory religious contributions, this approach generates n…
Gender Differences in Use of Alternative Full‐Time Work Arrangements by Married Workers
Many firms now offer alternative work arrangements to help full‐time employees resolve time conflicts between work and family. The 1997 Current Population Survey supplement on work schedules is used to investigate gender differences in personal, family, and work factors associated with flextime use among married full‐time workers. Data collected from a local firm are also used to explore gender differences in flextime and other alternative work a…
Factors Influencing the Likelihood of Leaving Self‐Employment in Korea
Self‐employed business owners in Korea are likely to be male with at least a high school education and no young children in the home. Evidence is that businesses of the self‐employed in Korea are small, primarily focused on sales and trade, and financially vulnerable. Willingness to leave self‐ employment is less likely for those who are male, enjoy work, have high household expenditures, are satisfied with the work of the business, and are optim…
Lottery Expenditures in Canada
This article has two purposes: First, to examine the effect of household characteristics on lottery expenditures in six regions of Canada using a double hurdle model to distinguish between the decision to play and the decision of how much to spend. Second, to estimate the incidence of lottery expenditures. Using the 1996 Canadian Family Expenditure Survey, the results portray the profile of households that have the probability of becoming partici…
