Читать книгу Counseling the Contemporary Woman - Suzanne Degges-White - Страница 88

The world of work is changing rapidly as a result of economic and demographic trends along with technological innovations (Lemme, 2006). Lippert and Damaske (2019) found that for women who completed a college degree there were more job opportunities than for those who did not do so. They found that the health benefits for women who were able to successfully balance family and work tended to be more pronounced in women who were of a high SES group and had greater job flexibility and higher paying jobs. Women who did not have college degrees and had low paying jobs tended to have an increased level of stress and more difficulty balancing family and work. Career pathways for women are explored more fully in chapter 8 through a lifespan approach. However, it is important to note that emerging adulthood is when career starts, stops, and transitions may be frequent.
