Book Description

Excerpt from Family Economics Review, 1983: No. 1 In contrast, the disparities between the not - employed and employed farm women for the two household task categories weakened when they were tested across net farm income sub groups and types of farming operations. In the household work category, the mean scores for both groups of farm women were the same for all net farm income subgroups and all types of farm operations. In the category of caring for animals and a garden for the family's food consumption, the mean scores were similar except for farms above the mean net farm income and for farms that had a product mix of mostly crops. The statistical tests by subgroup did not confirm the over all finding that farm women not employed off the farm did these tasks more frequently than employed farm women. In summary, data from the 1980 National Farm Women Survey indicate that as farm women assume the third role of employee, they are likely to remain involved in the farm operation and to do both farm and household tasks with the same regularity as their counterparts who are not employed. Only the task of maintaining farm records is likely to be done less regularly by employed farm women versus those not employed.
