I would like a specific number of pregnant women in the workforce. Currently the figures I have I obtained are not exact and calculated through some numbers provide by the US Census Bureau. I used the 10.4% pregnancy rate for women of the age of 15-44 (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/04facts/pregestimates.htm) and multiplied it by the number of working women between the ages of 16-44 (http://www.bls.gov/cps/wlf-tables1.pdf). The number that I came up with was 4,115,488 pregnancies in the workforce for the year 2000. Can you help me use more accurate numbers (a specific study, more up to date, a pregnancy rate for working women?). Thank you. |

Some women are pregnent 3 years out of the 29 years they are age 15 to 44. That would be 5 conseptions if the average duration of pregnacy is 7 months, including still born and abortions. That may be a good world average; my guess is less than 10.4% for USA and most first world countries. The 40 million women in the workforce, may include some who worked only part of 2002, so 4 million women preganent in the work force is a good high end estimate. 3.5 million may be a good low end estimate. Please yell at me if I'm over looking an important part of the analysis. Neil |

Hi Neil, I'm looking for more specific numbers, maybe from an actual study on pregnancy in the workforce that sites a specific pregnancy or birth rate for women in the workforce. Thanks, Grant |
