Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Issues of military spouses in the labor market are critical ones for retention of military members. As part of the continuing research on the quality of life of military families, the Department of Defense asked RAND researchers to help develop reliable employment statistics for military spouses that would address inadequacies of traditional Bureau of Labor Statistics measures, which may not represent the impact of military life on military spouses' employment conditions. We determined (1) valid measures of labor market conditions for military spouses and (2) the sufficient sample size to allow generalization to the population of military spouses.

Download or read book Working Around the Military Revisited written by Nelson Lim and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies have shown that military wives-women married to U.S. military service members-are more likely to be unemployed and earning less than their civilian counterparts. But these studies rely on information that is somewhat dated, and they have little to say about military husbands. This study revisits the gaps in employment and earnings between military and civilian wives using the 2000 census, and extends these analyses to include military husbands. Military spouses continue to be at a relative disadvantage in the labor market compared with civilian spouses. Even though policies that target demographic disparities such as mobility, location, and child care may reduce the gaps to a certain extent, they will not affect the portion attributable to unobserved factors that are not captured in the census data, such as employer's attitude.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
