Abstract

ODLAND J. and ELLIS M. (1998) Variations in the labour force experience of women across large metropolitan areas in the United States, Reg. Studies 32 , 333-347. Variations in women's labour force experience rates across the largest metropolitan areas of the US are analysed by decomposing the intermetropolitan variance of experience rates for 1989 into a series of components that include intermetropolitan variation in the demography of female populations and intermetropolitan variation in the labour force participation of women with similar demographic characteristics. Variation in experience rates for women with similar characteristics accounts for more of the overall variation than variations in demography. Much of the intermetropolitan variation is accounted for by the behaviour of a few demographic groups, including mothers of small children. ODLAND J. et ELLIS M. (1998) La variation des taux d'activité féminins à travers d'importantes zones métropolitaines aux Etats-Unis, Reg. Studies 32 , 333-347. La variation des taux d'activité féminins à travers les plus importantes zones métropolitaines aux Etats-Unis se voit analyser à partir d'une décomposition de la variance intermétropolitaine des taux d'activité de 1989, y compris la variation intermétropolitaine de la démographie de la population féminine et la variation intermétropolitaine des taux d'activité des femmes dont les caractéristiques démographiques sont similaires. La variation des taux d'activité des femmes dont les caractéristiques sont similaires explique plus de la variation globale que ne l'explique la variation démographique, et la variation intermétropolitaine s'explique largement par le comportement de quelques groupes sociaux, y compris les mères d'enfants jeunes. ODLAND J. und ELLIS M. (1998) Underschiede in Erfahrung im Erwerbsleben von Frauen in ausgedehnten Großstadtgebieten in den USA, Reg. Studies 32 , 333–347. Die Analyse von Unterschieden in den Raten der Erfahrung im Berufsleben von Frauen in ausgedehnten Großstadtgebieten in den USA wird durch Zerlegung großstädtisher Unterschiedlichkeit der Erfahrensraten für das Jahr 1989 in eine Serie von Bestandteilen erreicht, die intergroßstädtische Unterschiede der Demographie der weiblichen Bevölkerung und intergroßstädtische Unterschiede der Teilnahme am Berufsleben von Frauen ähnlicher demographischer Eigenschaften einschließt. Gesamtunterschiede beruhen mehr auf Unterschieden in Erfahrungsraten für Frauen mit vergleichbaren Erfahrungen als auf demographischen Unterschieden, und intergroßstädtische Unterschiede beruhen auf dem verhalten einiger weniger demographischer Gruppen, einschließlich Müttern mit kleinen Kindern.
