Women Stay Back In Jobs Education In the US
Washington AP reports a Census Bureau study showing women make up 51.3 percent of the population and outlive men but remain behind in labor force participation and earnings. By 1973 women could expect nearly eight more years of life than men, while median earnings in 1974 favored men by about 5,063 dollars. The report notes rising college attainment for women and more femaleheaded families, with shifts toward singlehood and delayed marriage. The findings reflect the growing entry of women into the labor force and the complex impact of the women's movement.
