The Importance of Mother: Labor Force Participation and Intergenerational Mobility of Women.
Stevens, Gillian; Boyd, Monica
Social Forces, v59 n1 p186-99 Sep 1980
Unlike previous research on women's occupational mobility, considers (1) housework to be a possible occupational outcome, and (2) the occupations of both parents as influences on daughters' occupations. Finds that women whose mothers worked are more likely to join the labor force and that their occupations are likely to resemble their mothers'. (Author/GC)
