This book analyzes the effects of wives' employment on the economic
status of families, using both descriptive and empirical research.
The historical and socio-economic causes of change in the
employment status of wives and husbands are detailed. The empirical
studies respond to some basic questions about dual-earner families:
How does having an employed wife influence family lifestyles? What
effects do dual-earners have on the finances of their households
and on the distribution of income? What policy changes are needed
to recognize the economic importance of dual-earner families? In
Working Wives and Dual-Earner Families, one-earner and dual-earner
families are differentiated, with particular attention to the
impact of wives' employment status (full-time or part-time) on
household decision making. Among the most interesting research
findings are: total family income or tax bracket and the cost of
child care are among the critical determinants of dual-earner
employment; married-couple families at the same level of income
have very similar expenditure patterns regardless of whether the
wife is employed; full-time working wives make the distribution of
income less equal, but part-time working wives generate greater
equality in the distribution of income; families with full-time
working wives have higher income, but they do not save more or have
greater financial assets than other families; families with
part-time employed wives are similar to those with non-employed
wives and differ from families with full-time employed wives. The
authors conclude that the real incomes of dual-earner families will
continue to grow, as one-earner real income remains the same or
declines. Household planning and decision making will increasingly
be predicated upon having two earners, which will be perceived as
the norm. Dual-earner families, based on amenities, mobility,
growing families, and demands for public goods, will drive private
markets and public policy.
