The Market Work Behavior and Wages of Women 1975-94.

Pencavel, John

Journal of Human Resources, v33 n4 p771-804 Fall 1998

A study examined schooling, weekly and annual working hours, and hourly earnings of women organized into nine birth cohorts, 1920 to 1964. Many more women are working now than did 20 years ago. The gap between the work of married and unmarried women has narrowed. Schooling and wage differences have widened in recent cohorts. (SK)
