Married Women At Work in 1972

Wilfred Beckerman and Jane Sutherland

National Institute Economic Review, 1963, vol. 23, 56-60

Abstract: In any projection of the working population in Britain, it is the number of married women at work which is the main uncertainty. For men and (to a lesser extent) for single women, the numbers likely to be working can be foreseen fairly accurately. Reasonable estimates can be made of the total numbers in each age group, and in all the sizeable age-groups over 95 per cent have a job. These participation rates—that is, the proportion in each age group which is at work—have not changed much in the past, and there is not much scope for them to rise in the future.
