| Résumé : | "Today, more American women in their sixties and seventies are active members of the workforce. The trend toward rising participation emerged in the 1980s and has persisted during the past three decades, despite substantial changes in macroeconomic conditions. Why is this so? Today s older American women work full-time jobs at greater rates than women in other developed countries. In 'Women Working Longer', editors Claudia Goldin and Lawrence F. Katz assemble new research that presents fresh insights on the phenomenon of working longer. Their findings suggest that education and work experience earlier in life are connected to women s work lives. Contributors investigate additional factors that may play a role in late-life labor supply, such as marital disruption, household finances, and access to retirement benefits. A pioneering study of recent trends in older women s labor force participation, this collection offers insights valuable to a wide array of social scientists, employers, and policy makers." |
