Career or Family: What Choices Do College Women Have?

Journal of Labor Research, 2003, vol. 24, issue 1, 144-151

Abstract: Much has been written about the problems of combining job and family. Among the best-known scholarly works is Goldin's (1997) study in which she found that only 1217 percent of college-educated women managed to attain both a career and a family. We re-examine these conclusions, first duplicating Goldin's definitions of career but using a somewhat older group, then using alternate definitions of career. We reach far more optimistic conclusions about what lies ahead for today's college women.
