Abstract

In the United States, there are over one million military spouses. Frequent geographical relocations, the psychological stress and anxiety associated with spousal deployments, and supporting their children as the only parent while their active duty spouse is away leave military spouses disproportionately accountable for all family obligations. Ultimately, these inequities create barriers for military spouses and their employment and educational pursuits. Despite similarities in lifestyle to active duty service members, military spouses are not categorized as an at-risk population and have not been studied in depth. This chapter utilized the source, survey, synthesize method to address the literature gap surrounding the barriers to military spouse education and employment. Findings from the existing literature were synthesized to present the key themes for studies that investigated the military culture, barriers to military spouses' pursuits of higher education, employment, and career advancement and earnings.

对美国军人配偶教育和就业障碍的评述
在美国,有超过一百万的军人配偶。频繁的地理迁移,与配偶部署相关的心理压力和焦虑,以及在现役配偶不在时作为唯一的父母抚养子女,使军人配偶不成比例地承担了所有家庭义务。最终,这些不平等为军人配偶及其就业和教育追求制造了障碍。尽管生活方式与现役军人相似,但军人配偶并没有被归类为高危人群,也没有进行深入研究。本章运用资料法、调查法、综合法,对军人配偶教育与就业障碍的相关文献进行了梳理。综合现有文献的研究结果,提出了军事文化、军人配偶追求高等教育、就业、职业发展和收入的障碍研究的关键主题。
