Bielby, Denise D.; Bielby, William T.

Uses the 1973 and 1977 Quality of Employment Surveys to test the assumption that women expend less effort in the workplace because of family and household responsibilities. Concludes that, on average, women allocate more effort to work than do men despite their greater household responsibilities. (Author/GEA)
