area for labor-force characteristics. Therefore, it would
appear that by analyzing areas in this type, population size
and regional economics influence occupational opportunities
for women.
Application of the Typology in Understanding
Percent Married and Fertility by SMSA
The major hypothesis of this investigation is that there
is an inverse relationship between occupational opportunities
for women and percentage married by specific age group and
work opportunities and fertility. There should be a lower
average for percentage married in the 1A areas and a higher
average for percentage married in the 3C areas. There should
also be a lower average fertility among 1A types and a
higher average fertility among 3C types. The hypothesized
inverse relationship is illustrated in Table VIII.
