Abstract
The study for the first time relates labor force behavior of a panel of married women of childbearing age, over a ten-year period, to economic and noneconomic variables. The dependent variable, labor force attachment, is measured by current work behavior, work plans, and actual labor force participation for each woman over a decade. When this variable is related by multiple regression analysis to economic and sociological variables, the most important influences on a wife's labor force participation are found to be expected family size and wife's education. Since education for women is increasing and family size is expected to decrease, there should be an important increase in the labor force participation of younger married women in the coming decades.
