本研究利用宿雾纵向健康和营养调查的数据，重新评估了城市妇女的就业与其医疗服务和避孕药具使用之间的关系。多变量分析显示，不同工作类型获得及时产前护理和产后一年采取避孕措施的可能性存在显着差异。白领工作的工资工人比非工资工人更有可能获得产前护理，并且更有可能在分娩后的一年内采取避孕方法。自营职业的女性也比非受薪女性更有可能使用避孕药具。蓝领工资工作和计件工作与任何一个因变量都没有关系。这些发现表明，与工作相关的自主权鼓励女性在生活的其他领域进行控制。
This study re-evaluates the relationship of urban women's employment to their health-service and contraceptive use, drawing on data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. Multivariate analyses reveal significant differences across types of work for the likelihood of both obtaining timely prenatal care and practicing contraception at one year postpartum. Wage workers in white-collar jobs are significantly more likely than those not employed for pay to have obtained prenatal care and are substantially more likely to have adopted a contraceptive method in the year following childbirth. Women who are self-employed also are significantly more likely than those nor employed for pay to be using contraceptives. Blue-collar wage work and piecework employment have no relationship to either dependent variable. These findings suggest that work-related autonomy encourages women to exercise control in other areas of their lives.
