Sociology 699F: Gender & Social Change

Smith and Ward, 1983

Model

• DV: 20th century cohort increases in WLFP:
• IV: wage increases
• IV: Fertility
• IV: Education
• IV: Demand for female labor
• IV: WW2

Relative wage gains

• Relative wage gain for women starts after the 1876-80 cohort (p.S73)
• Postwar: fixed effect models of changes within cohorts of LFP; coefficient for wage change accounts for 23 pct points of the 40 pct point increase
• What accounts for the relative wage gains?

Still under construction; come back later.
