| Annotation | Based on data from the 1982 New Beneficiary Survey (NBA) and the 1991 New Beneficiary Follow-up (NBF), this study analyses the extent and determinants of employment among American women who received their first social security benefits between June 1980 and May 1981. More than a quarter of the women continued to work or rejoined the labour force following their first social security benefit receipt. Financial need was found to be the primary reason for and the most significant determinant of women's continuing work or (re)entry into the workforce. This was followed by the level of education, health, spouse's work status and previous work history, as well as the duration of their employment following social security receipt. (KJ/RH). |
