Lone Mothers' Employment and Full-Time Work Probabilities

Stephen Jenkins

Economic Journal, 1992, vol. 102, issue 411, 310-20

Abstract: This paper models the probability a lone mother is in employment and the probability a lone mother works full-time using the 1989 U.K. Lone Parents Survey. It complements the work by J. F. Ermisch and R. E. Wright (1991) and I. Walker (1990) based on data from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Distinctive features of this paper include its use of up-to-date data, and data on workers' child-care expenditures, regularity of maintenance receipt, religious affiliation, marital and health status, family background, and ethnic origin, plus its modeling of full-time work probabilities as well as employment probabilities.
