Working Status

Abstract Objectives Women's participation in labor force has been increasing; however, married women spend considerable time in housework despite working outside. This double burden may have a negative impact on their health behavior. However, little is known about the relationship between married women's working status and their nutrient intake. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association of working status, considering working hours, with nutrient intake and adequacy among married Japanese women. Methods This cross-sectional study included married women aged 20–59 years. The participants were categorized into 3 groups based on their working status and hours: housewives, part-time workers (who work <35 hours per week), and full-time workers (who work ≥35 hours per week). Dietary intake was assessed using a validated self-administered questionnaire. For each nutrient, the prevalence of participants whose intake did not meet the Japanese Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) was compared across the working status. To evaluate the overall nutrient adequacy for each participant, we counted the number of nutrients that did not meet the DRIs. The participants in the highest tertile category for number of nutrients not meeting the DRIs (≥7 of 20 nutrients not meeting the DRIs) were regarded as “low adequacy”. Crude and multivariate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for low adequacy in each working status group were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Results Among 644 married women, 240 were housewives, 280 were part-time workers, and 126 were full-time workers. The intake of dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B1, vitamin C, and copper was lower in both the part-time and full-time workers than in the housewives. In addition, the full-time workers had a lower intake of folate, calcium, and iron than the housewives. The prevalence of not meeting the DRIs for potassium and magnesium was higher in the full-time workers. Multivariate ORs (95% CIs) for low adequacy in the part-time and the full-time workers were 1.39 (0.96–2.01) and 2.34 (1.48–3.71), respectively, compared with the housewives. Conclusions Working, especially ≥35 hours per week, was negatively associated with nutrient intake adequacy in married Japanese women. Funding Sources Ochanomizu University.

Part Time Work

This research deals with three aspects of the part-time employment pattern of working wives: (1) the wives' characteristics, (2) the level and structure of their earnings in part-time jobs, and (3) the duration of their employment when part-time jobs are available to them. This study improves upon previous research by using multivariate analysis to determine if the variation in the incidence of part-time work consistently found in other studies persists when earnings potential, fertility, family income, and other factors that may vary by age or race are held constant. It differs further by including a data source that contains direct measures of market wages and experience for a large sample of married working women. The authors find that husband's income, family size, and the wife's health, race, and previous work experience are among the variables that influence the probability that the wife works part time. They also find that the level of wages and returns to some investments in human capital are relatively lower in the part-time labor market but that there are similarities between the earnings structure of part-time and full-time jobs. They conclude that part-time work opportunities appear to increase the length of the working life of married women.

Part Time Work

We construct a family model of labor supply that features adjustment along both the intensive and extensive margin. Intensive margin adjsutment is restricted to two values: full-time work and part-time work. Using simulated data from the steady state of the calibrated model, we examine whether standard labor supply regressions can uncover the true value of the intertemporal elasticity of labor supply parameter. We find positive estimated elasticities that are larger for women and that are highly significant, but they bear virtually no relationship to the underlying preference parameters.

The relationship of employment status to symptoms was studied in 40 graduates of an Eastern woman's college who had been out of college 35 years and were in their late fifties at the time of the study. All subjects were married women in the “empty nest” stage of life. Women employed full-time were found to have significantly lower symptom scores than women not employed outside the home, with women employed part-time occupying an intermediate position.

Purpose The intended purpose of this research note is to share the findings of a needs assessment online survey of speech and hearing professionals practicing in North Carolina to explore their interest in pursuing a research-focused PhD in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) and to document their perceptions of barriers to pursing a PhD in CSD. In view of the well-documented shortage of doctor of philosophy (PhD) faculty to attract, retain, and mentor doctoral students to advance research and to prepare future speech and hearing professionals, CSD faculty must assess the needs, perceptions, and barriers prospective students encounter when considering pursuing a doctoral research degree in CSD. Method The article describes the results of a survey of 242 speech and hearing professionals to investigate their interest in obtaining an academic research-focused PhD in CSD and to solicit their perceived barriers to pursuing a research doctoral degree in CSD. Results Two thirds of the respondents (63.6%) reported that they had considered pursuing a PhD in CSD. Desire for knowledge, desire to teach, and work advancement were the top reasons given for pursuing a PhD in CSD. Eighty-two percent of respondents had no interest in traditional full-time study. Forty-two percent of respondents indicated that they would be interested in part-time and distance doctoral study. The barriers of time, distance, and money emerged as those most frequently identified barriers by respondents. Conclusion The implications inform higher education faculty on how they can best address the needs of an untapped pool of prospective doctoral students in CSD.
