"Preferences and Need for Employment Among Married Women (Joint variables), 1968"

The data set is part of a study planned and implemented by the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation in cooperation with the Centre for Equality, Aetat - The directorate of labour and the Ministry of Children and Equality. The data was collected by Statistics Norway. The purpose was to identify married women's labor participation and increase awareness of the problems facing many married women who have or are seeking, employment outside the home, with the goal of getting public authorities to better facilitate female employment. Matters concerning children has been of special interest to the investigation. Married women aged 15-59 years were interviewed. The current data set consists of the joint variables from the two original data sets constructed on the basis of the questionnaires (employed/unemployed women, NDS0036-1 and NSD0036-2). Together the three data sets make out the whole numerical data for the survey.
