This project investigates the relationship between religious involvement and women's diverging work and family pathways in the U.S. I identify five work-family configurations using NLSY79 data and Latent Class Analysis. Timing of family experiences and educational attainment are key variables that differentiate these configurations. Then, I use adolescent religiosity to predict work-family pathways. Adolescent affiliation with an evangelical Protestant religious tradition is linked to early family formation patterns and traditional pathways of marriage and then childbearing. Frequent religious service attendance is associated with two particular groups of women: women who came from more privileged family backgrounds and follow traditional pathways of marriage and then childrearing. More specifically, weekly service attendance and a parent who completed more than high school is consistently associated with the class of women most likely to complete college and delay family formation. These results suggest that this educated and more traditional family formation pathway is the only one with a clear link to religious involvement, and religion is contributing to social reproduction of the higher status of these women. As a result, the benefits religious organizations can provide, such as social and cultural capital, may be concentrated among already privileged women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
