Abstract
Women's occupational choices are part of a two-stage process through which overall lifestyle decisions are made. In the first stage, women make a decision about the way in which they will combine family and work roles; in the second stage, a specific occupation is chosen. In this study the first stage of decision making was explored by examining the aspirations of adolescent women for combining marriage, motherhood, and labor-force participation. The aspirations of adolescent males for their future wives' combination of marriage, motherhood, and labor-force participation also were examined to uncover any sex differences. Path models suggest that, for both males and females, sex-role variables are the most important predictors of these aspirations but that background, significant other, and achievement variables also are influential.
