Female Labor Force Participation in the United States: An Update

这项研究规划补助金将用于评估进行一项长期研究的可行性，这项研究将在理论和方法上比以往关于女性劳动力参与趋势的研究取得重大进展。这项研究将确定制定更精确的妇女劳动供需衡量标准的可行性，并制定一个更全面的妇女劳动力参与模式。规划活动包括找到适当的数据，制定供应和需求的措施，并制定统计模型。如果规划阶段的结果是积极的，那么由此产生的研究可以预期将对美国妇女参与劳动力的社会学研究作出重大贡献。

This Research Planning Grant will be used to assess the feasibility of conducting a long-term study that would provide a major theoretical and methodological advancement of previous research on trends in female labor force participation. The study will determine the feasibility of developing more refined measures of supply and demand for women's labor by, and develop a more comprehensive model of women's labor force participation. The planning activities consist of locating appropriate data, developing measures of supply and demand, and developing the statistical models. If the outcome of the planning phase is positive, then the research resulting from it can be expected to make a major contribution to the sociological study of women's labor force participation in the United States.
