TLDR
This article examined married women's employment behavior over a five-year period (1976-1981) and found that attitudes and work and family factors differentiated women who worked continuously full-time from women who either worked either part-time or intermittently during the five year period.
Abstract
In the attempt to overcome shortcomings of previous research on women's employment patterns, married women's employment behavior was examined successively over a five year period (1976–1981). Logistic regression and discriminant function analyses were performed on a sample of 366 wives in dual earner families from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Attitudes as well as work and family factors differentiated women who worked continuously full-time from women who worked either part-time or intermittently during the five year period. The findings are discussed in the context of social change and the impact of changing norms on married women's work patterns.
