    Journal Article

    This research analyzes gender differences in concern toward general and local environmental issues. Findings from a local survey indicate that women are no more concerned than are men about general environmental issues, but are significantly more concerned about the local environmental issues. Those participating in the labor force are more environmentally concerned than are nonparticipants. While mothers of small children in our sample show less concern over the effects on the economy of implementing environmental controls, fathers are more concerned about these effects.
