The Relationship between Family Responsibilities and Employment Status among College and University Faculty.
Perna, Laura W.
Journal of Higher Education, v72 n5 p584-611 Sep-Oct 2001
This study used data from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty to examine the extent to which the concentration of women among part-time and nontenure-track faculty is related to family responsibilities. It found that in fact the effects of family responsibilities are less advantageous for women than for men. (EV)
