But military wives earn less than civilian wives, and this study seeks to understand why. The authors find that military wives, knowing they are likely to move frequently, are willing to accept jobs that offer a lower wage rather than to use more of their remaining time at a location to find a higher-wage job. Compared with civilian wives, military wives tend to work somewhat less if they have young children but somewhat more if their children are older.Military spousesEmploymentUnited StatesMilitary spousesSalaries, etcUnited StatesMarried womenEmploymentUnited StatesWivesSalaries, etcUnited StatesUnited StatesArmed ForcesRecruiting, enlistment, etcMilitary spousesEmploymentMilitary spousesSalaries, etcMarried womenEmploymentWivesSalaries, etc355.1/2Hosek James R879929United States.Department of Defense.Office of the Secretary of Defense.National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910220136903321Married to the military2037043UNINA
