“…Earlier work/family models, such as the separate sphere model, treat work and family roles as separate domains with family roles being reserved for women (for a fuller discussion see Chow and Berheide, 1988). In response to this early model, the spillover model was advanced recognizing that women may hold work and family roles simultaneously.…”

“…In response to this early model, the spillover model was advanced recognizing that women may hold work and family roles simultaneously. However, this model focuses on the consequences arising out the societal valuing of paid work over unpaid family work (Chow and Berheide, 1988). With the rise in women's labor force participation rates, there has been a need to better describe the social circumstances of work and family life.…”

Early Childbearing Patterns and Women's Labor Force Behavior in Later Life

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the consequences of early childbearing decisions for women's labor force activity in later life. Within a life course framework, women's early childbearing activities may be linked to later life decisions. Women between ages 55 and 64 are evaluated from the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation. Two measures of early family roles are considered: total fertility (number of children ever born) and timing of first-birth (childless, prior to age 30, and 30+). Results provide some limited support that early childbearing roles do in fact have a long-term impact on the employment decisions of women. Women who delay childbearing are somewhat more likely to remain in the labor force during their later years whereas women who remain childless are more likely to have exited the labor force.

The Reciprocal Relationship Between Work and Home Satisfaction for Home Economics Teachers

The primary purpose of this study was to test a structural equation model of the reciprocal relationship between work satisfaction and home satisfaction. To test the model, a random sample (n = 132) of home economics teachers in Virginia was surveyed to examine dimensions of work and home satisfaction. The allfemale sample was mostly white, married, and of relatively high income levels.From responses to the survey, four home satisfaction factors and four work satisfaction factors were identified. These factors were hypothesized as the manifest indicators of their respective latent satisfactions. Using Linear Structural Relationship (LISREL) analysis, resulting maximum likelihood estimates suggest that the model was appropriate for the data, that the relationship between home satisfaction and work satisfaction was significant, and that home satisfaction had a greater effect on work satisfaction than the reverse. Implications for teacher education and further research are discussed.

“…Giving a historical overview of the family and work systems within the United States, Chow and White Berheide (1998) note that industrialisation led to technology, which led to a dependence on a machine and eventually results in physical isolation. When a student gets on their computer, they may have a sense of entering a space; there are concrete images that may offer stepping stones within internet-space, but there is no sense of a physical connection-there is only a mask that lies on top of a set of computer instructions.…”
