Reversals in the patterns of women’s labor supply in the United States, 1977–2009, by Diane J. Macunovich, Monthly Labor Review • November 2010

  • “Despite strong increases in women’s labor force participation—especially
    among married women with children—in the 1980s, and somewhat less strong increases in the 1990s, the first decade of the twenty-first century has seen declines across the board; these have been especially marked among single women, women with no children, and women with more than 16 years of education.”
