Friday, April 18, 1986 University Daily Kansan Nation/World 11 Women's pay not improved United Press International WASHINGTON — Despite gains in the labor market and anti-discrimination legislation, women in 1983 were no better off economically than they were in 1959 — mainly because they hold primary responsibility for children, a study released yesterday said The study, by Victor Fuchs, an economics professor at Stanford University, said women's income doubled during the last decade. The study also found that early pay was still 50 percent less than men's. Fuchs, reporting in the weekly journal Science, said women also lost ground in other areas. They had less leisure, while men had more; they were more dependent on women for food and other needs in the divorce rate; and their share of financial responsibility for children rose. The data examined here suggest that the massive structural, legal and behavioral changes of the last quarter century did not improve the economic well-being of women in comparison with men," wrote Fuchs, who is also a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private non-profit organization at Stanford. "As long as parents are responsible for children and this responsibility is borne disproportionately by women, sex differences in the labor market are likely to The study, based on census data and population surveys, said women comprised 54 percent of the labor force in 1982, compared with 34 percent in 1959. The average wage for women showed a striking increase, from $4.139 in 1950 to $9,028 in 1983, because of an increase in hours worked and the number of cases given in 1963 dollars. The ratio of their earnings However, the study found that the average man still earned almost 50 percent more an hour than did the average woman of the same race, age and education. compared to men's also doubled. Fuchs wrote. "Although federal and state laws require women to have the same pay scale for men and women in the same job, the large wage differential persists, partly because women have fewer years of service than men in particular jobs, and especially because they have different jobs." This, Fuchs wrote, could be blamed on motherhood, which forced some women to leave the market at an age when men were making important career moves. Other women who stayed in the market accepted lower wages in exchange for flexible or shorter hours, limited travel or other compensation. Connecticut legislators move to end Yale's legal protection United Press International HARTFORD, Conn. -- Democratic legislators, upset with the arrests of anti-apartheid protesters at Yale University, called yesterday for an end to state constitutional protection of the university's charter. Four Democratic representatives proposed a resolution to repeal a provision in the state constitution that protects the 1948 Senate and 1949 years ago by the General Assembly. The lawmakers said Yale's response to demonstrations this week demanding the school to divest holdings in companies doing business in South Africa warranted repeal of the constitutional protections of the Yale charter. More than 160 people, most of them Yale students, have been arrested during demonstrations demanding that the university divest from $350 million and $400 million in investments in firms operating in South Africa. "For nearly 200 years the people of Connecticut have recognized the special position that Yale has in our state. The actions over the last few days have called that heritage into question," said Rep. Jonathan Pelto, D-Mansfield. Walter Littell, a spokesman for Yale in New Haven, said the university had no comment on the proposed constitutional change. House Minority Leader Irving Stolberg, D-New Haven, conceded the lawmakers would have difficulty winning approval. Only Tonight: The Michael Beers Band America has many stars . . . .
