1. For this assignment, you should write at least a 2 page paper addressing the issue of housewife and homemaker compensation explored previously.
2. You must use the following sources, but can use other sources as you see fit as long as they are academically credible (so, do not use Wikipedia):
a. the O*Net (see Webliograpy: Category: Module 1 for link), and
b. the article :The Economic Risks of Being a Housewife by Barbara R. Bergmann (AEA Papers and Proceedings, Volume 71, No. 2, May 1981). You can find the article easily through our library or using a Google search.
3. Your paper should address issues of compensation, and should be well informed from the perspectives of job analysis, job evaluation, economic, labor force, and occupational profile.
4. You may include personnel decision making if you see fit, but don’t go too far afield addressing how you would select and retain a housewife and homemaker.
5. You have your own theories; keep them to yourself for now unless they are immediately material and relevant to the issue of compensation.
6. Your assignment should be in APA format, typed, double spaced, with 12 point Times New Roman Font, 1†margins all around, and an APA formatted title page and reference page. Avoid passive voice and plagiarism, do not use first-person language, and check your grammar and spelling prior to submission.
