Attitudes Toward Work



Of the 154 women in the sample reporting, the overwhelming majority (87%) expect

to stay on the job indefinitely and 84.5 % would look for another job if they lost

their present one, indicating a stg work commitment among these women. Of the

women who would stay home if they lost their present job, they tend to be over 45,

rr-aal-and-arbar, married and formerly married women who have worked for over 10

years (See page 308-309,329-330,350-351,392-393). If they had their preference of

working or staying home, the majority of the sample (58%) would prefer to stay
*'-----4 (ju. ^ c ldCEI / 3 ^ ^
home. Married women, both rural and urban, aged 30-44, are the one whowould
-"A-

most prefer to stay home. Urban and rural women women under 30\ar the ones who

would most prefer to work. This golds regardless of the factory. ,*.., .

(See pages 310,331,352,394).

Should married woman with kids work? Of 157, 29.9% say yes; 43.9 % say no,

and 26.1 % say it depends. For most ryral and urban women, the probability that

They say yes decreases with age, particularly for urban women over 45 (only 19.2%

say yes). Carried women tend to say no, formerly married are split between yes

andit-dep-nds and single women tend to split on yes and no. The urban women over

45 who have been employed under 10 years are the least likely to say yes (only

12.5%). (See pages 311, 332,374,353, 395). This holds regardless of the factory.

Should abandoned woman with kids work or receive welfare? Of the 145 women

reporting, 51.7% say the abandoned woman should work. Urban"women, formerly marriea-^l1"

and single women are more likely than rural and married women to say they should

work. This is significant for the factory the women work in: 73.3% of the women

in the Mayaguez women say work, compared to 54.4% of the Anasco women, and only

37.9% of the Rincon women (See pages 312,334,354,375,396). Of 155 women reporting,

35.5% say that working-has changed their thinking.. These women tend to be urban

women under 30, formerly married or single.Rural women over 45 who have been

employed under 10 years are least likely to say tt that. working has changed their

thinking (See pages 313,334,355,376,397). Factory makes no difference.




'Attitudes Toward Work -page 2



The great majority of the sample have never thought about seeking other employment

(88.5%). For both rural and urban women, the probability of seeking other employ-

ment decreases with age. Of these, rural women are more likely than urban women

to say they have never sought other employment (See pages 314,335,356,377,398).

S Of 154 reporting, 86.4 % of the sample say that factory work is swe good for

women, evern-rtugh the majority have never sought any other type of work. Rural

i and urban women over 45, regardless of length of employment, are most likely to

say that factory work is good. Married women uade0-(25% aa--edomen

aged-3O-44(19-5%) are nthe-aoup mn-t likd1ly-t--esay factory work is good.For

factory, 20.3% of Rincon workers, 12.9% of Mayaguez workers, and only 6.8% of

Anasco workers feel that factory work isAgood for women. (See pages 315,336,357,378,399).

7 Even though 86.4% of the sample feel that factory work is for women,

25.6% of them would like their daughters to work there. For the most part, though,

the largest category of women (44.2%) think that their daughters should study

rather than work in the factory. Women over 45, regardless of length of employment,

are the ones who tend to want their daughters to work in the factory. These

women tend to be rural. Urban women aged 30-44 are most likely to want their

daughters to study (56.5%) and rural women aged 30-44 are the ones most likely

to say that the work is bad (39.3%).(See pages316,337,358,379,400). Women tend

to want their sons to work in factories moreso than daughters (39.4% would like

their sons to). An equal number think that sons should study (40.0% ). Women

under 30 and over 45 are most likely to say yes; women 30-44 are most likely to

want sons to study. (See pages 317,338,359,380, 401).
7. 1 o
Of 153 reporting, only 993- of the sample feel that they would have ad-

vanced with more education. A -- omen nder 30, regardless of area or marital

status (employed under 10 years) are the ones who think they would have advanced

more.A Woman in the Rincon (28.1/.) and Anasco (23.&%) factories tend to say .as

more than women in the Mayaguez factory (10.0%). (See pages 318,339,360,381,402)-

The overwhelming majority of the smaple (92.9% feel that men and women should




Attitudes Toward Work-page 3


earn the same pay and 83.8% say that this is actually the case, regardless of the
----------
factory worked in (See pages 319-320,340-341, 361-362,382-383,403-404). Though the

majority of the women think that pay is equal for men and women, there is not as

much consensus on who is fired first. Around 30% say womenrarQfired first, 49.7%

say men first, and 20.1 % say it is the same. Rural women under 30 are the group

Y ost likely to say women are fired first (39.1%); urban women are most likely to say

, men are fired first for women aged 30-44 (65%) and urban women over 45 are the
4S.
ones most likely to say it is the same.(See pages 321,342,363,384,405).

Of 152 women reporting, the majority C77.6%) feel that- 1n hat-way for women

to struggle for women is through education. Women over 45 are most likely to

say education and women under 30 are the ones most likely to think that laws will

help women the most (See pages 322,343, 364,385,406). No diff. in factories,

Over 90% of the entire sample feel that_there are fewer job opportunities

for men and that men have a harder time finding employment Women over 45 tend

to be the only ones who feel that there are fewer job opportunities for wo enpand

A that 5b&-'have a harder time finding employment. (See pages323-324, 344-345,

365-366,386-387,407-408).

The majority of the women are satisfied with their work (87.9%). Urban women <

over 45, who are formerly married and employed over 10 years are least likely to be

satisfied with their work. Mayagueq ktrkers are less satisfied with their work

(71%) compared with Anasco (91.8%) and Rincon workers(92.3%).(See pages 325,346,367,

388,409). Mayaguez workers ae]n ptend tf think onditions in the factory have

worsen. oreso than Anasco(21.3%) or Rincon workers(32.3% Of the entire

sample, there seems to be an even split concerning factory conditions, with about

a third saying "better," "worse," or no change" each. (See tables 326,347,368,389,410).

Of the entire sample, 3/4 of them say that there is good camaraderie in the

factory. Women over 45, regardless of marital status or length of employment, are

the ones most likely to say camaraderies is good (See pages 327,348,369,390,411)..

/Though camaraderies in the factory is good, for both rural and urban women, as

age increases, the probability of socializing with cowrokers outside of the factory





Attitudes Toward Work-page4



decreases, particularly for formerly married women--who are the least likely to

socialize (only 38.5%). For factories, Mayaguez women (45.2%) are the women

least likely to socialize outside of work. (See pages 328,349,370,391,412).
