Be aware that the methods for such decompositions were presented long
ago,
and in a definitive fashion, by
Gomulka, J. and Stern, N. (1990). "The Employment of Married Women in
the United Kingdom 1970�83", Economica, vol 57, pp 171�99.
Their appendix also indicates how to get standard errors for the
estimates.
I do not have this stuff hard-wired into a program, but it is relatively
straightforward to do, I think.
