对女性就业和为人父母的研究往往集中在特定时间的决定的相关性和后果上，比如分娩。本文应用基于群体的轨迹方法，使用1979年全国青年纵向调查(N=2,093)来检验妇女在为人父母的早期阶段的就业轨迹。我们发现，在为人父母的早期，女性在进入和离开劳动力大军方面表现出显著的流动。通常预测女性就业状况的因素，如初次生育年龄和受教育程度，也是女性就业模式的良好预测因素。我们讨论了这些发现对未来研究的影响，特别是对妇女或夫妇就业状况的静态衡量标准的使用。
Research on women's employment and parenthood frequently focuses on the correlates and consequences of decisions at a particular time, such as a birth. This article applies a group-based trajectory method to examine women's employment trajectories across the period of early parenthood using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (N = 2,093). We find that throughout early parenthood, women exhibit significant movement into and out of the labor force. Factors that typically predict women's employment status, such as age at first birth and education, are also good predictors of women's employment patterns. We discuss the implications of these findings for future research, particularly on the use of a static measure of women's or couples' employment status.
