Tuillio Jappelli, “Who is Credit Constrained in the U.S. Economy?”Quarterly Journal of Economics 105 (1990): 219–34 identifies the characteristics of credit constrained households. Households that were denied credit by a financial institution are younger with a lower level of income and fewer assets than unconstrained households.

Reuben Gronau, “Sex-related Wage Differentials and Women’s Interrupted Labor Careers—The Chicken or the Egg,”Journal of Labor Economics 6 (1988): 277–301 finds evidence of a woman’s plans to quit the labor force and reduced on-the-job training. Jacob Mincer and Haim Ofek, “Interrupted Work Careers, Depreciation and Restoration of Human Capital,”Journal of Human Resources 17 (1979): 3-24 indicate that wages are lower at reentry for women experiencing an interruption in their labor market careers, but a rapid growth is evident with a restoration in eroded human capital.
