Labor force participation of married women: Effect of personal values
Abstract
In this study, the principal factors affecting labor force participation of women are surveyed. Particular attention is given to the concept of "personal values" and their structure for different individuals. The purpose of the study was to examine the possible effect of personal values on labor market related decisions of married women. To conduct the research, the wives of married male faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Stout were chosen as the population of women under study. The results of the study indicate that personal values have different degrees of intensity and, thus, when measured could be ranked to form a personal value structure for an individual. For the women under study, the personal value structure of the working group obtained appears different from the personal value structure of non-working women. Economic and political values showed a greater degree of prominence for the working group, while social and religious values were found to play a greater role in the personal value structure of non-working women.
