Description of Spouses of Officers and Enlisted Personnel in the U.S. Armed Forces. 1985. Supplementary Tabulations from the 1985 DoD Surveys of Officer and Enlisted Personnel and Military Spouses. Volume 2

Abstract

1985 DoD Spouse Survey provides an opportunity to explore how military families have adapted to recent changes in the role of women in American society, including increases in the labor force participation by married women, especially those with small children. Tables are presented which show wives' participation in paid employment, their role as volunteers and the effects of the husbands military career on their employment. Also shown is the family's economic situation, information on the wife's earnings, the family's total income and satisfaction with family income. Employment and occupations of civilian husbands of women enlisted personnel and officers are shown also.
