摘要：

I compare two birth-cohorts of married women and find that divorce-risk plays a significantly smaller role in the recent cohort's labor supply decision. This suggests that any decline in America's divorce rates will not substantially reduce married women's labor supply. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
