Abstract:
|
This exploratory quantitative study uses stratification theory to examine the effect of micro-level and macro-level factors on conflicts between work and family for women of color and white women. Using GSS data, the authors explore women’s individual characteristics, human capital factors, and social structure to try to understand the number and type of conflicts working women experience. Data analysis shows that women of color were much more likely than white women to be in one-earner households; conversely, white women were much more likely to be in two-earner households. Evidence of a race-segregated labor force also emerged. Regression analysis suggests that predictive factors for number and type of conflicts women experience are different for women of color than for white women. |
