Paid parental leave and families' living arrangements (2018)
Cygan-Rehm, Kamila; Riphahn, Regina T.; Kühnle, Daniel;Zitatform
Cygan-Rehm, Kamila, Daniel Kühnle & Regina T. Riphahn (2018): Paid parental leave and families' living arrangements. (IZA discussion paper 11533), Bonn, 51 S.
Abstract
"We examine how a paid parental leave reform causally affected families' living arrangements. The German reform we examine replaced a means-tested benefit with a universal transfer paid out for a shorter period. Combining a regression discontinuity with a difference-in-differences design, we find that the reform increased the probability that a newborn lives with non-married cohabiting parents. This effect results from a reduced risk of single parenthood among women who gained from the reform. We reject the economic independence hypothesis and argue that the reform effects for those who benefited from the reform are consistent with hypotheses related to the improved financial situation of new mothers after the reform and increased paternal involvement in childcare."

Masculine vs feminine personality traits and women's employment outcomes in Britain: a field experiment (2018)
Zitatform
Drydakis, Nick, Katerina Sidiropoulou, Vasiliki Bozani, Sandra Selmanovic & Swetketu Patnaik (2018): Masculine vs feminine personality traits and women's employment outcomes in Britain. A field experiment. In: International journal of manpower, Jg. 39, H. 4, S. 621-630. DOI:10.1108/IJM-09-2017-0255
Abstract
"Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine whether masculine personality traits in women generate better job market prospects, as compared to feminine personality traits.
Design/methodology/approach: The authors utilized a field experiment (correspondent test) to capture the way in which firms respond to women who exhibit masculine and feminine personality traits. In doing so, the authors minimized the potential for reverse causality bias and unobserved heterogeneities to occur.
Findings: Women who exhibit masculine personality traits have a 4.3 percentage points greater likelihood of gaining access to occupations than those displaying feminine personality traits. In both male- and female-dominated occupations, women with masculine personality traits have an occupational access advantage, as compared to those exhibiting feminine personality traits. Moreover, women with masculine personality traits take up positions which offer 10 percentage points higher wages, in comparison with those displaying feminine personality traits. Furthermore, wage premiums are higher for those exhibiting masculine personality traits in male-dominated occupations than for female-dominated positions.
Practical implications: Within the labor market, masculine personality traits may increase competency levels and leadership capability.
Social implications: As feminine personality traits are stereotypically attributed to women, and these characteristics appear to yield fewer rewards within the market, they may offer one of many plausible explanations as to why women experience higher unemployment rates, while also receiving lower earnings, as compared to men.
Originality/value: Masculine and feminine personality traits may be a probable outcome of wage-related differentials. The experimental study isolates spurious relationships and offers clear evaluations of the effect of masculine and feminine personality traits on occupational access and wage distribution. To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first-field experiment to examine the effect of masculine and feminine personality traits on entry-level pay scales."

Fathers on call?: a study on the sharing of care work between parents in Sweden (2018)
Zitatform
Evertsson, Marie, Katarina Boye & Jeylan Erman (2018): Fathers on call? A study on the sharing of care work between parents in Sweden. In: Demographic Research, Jg. 39, S. 33-60. DOI:10.4054/DemRes.2018.39.2
Abstract
"Background: Swedish fathers' parental leave uptake has increased over time, but progress has been moderate. In relation to this, we ask what factors hinder or facilitate the taking of leave by fathers and how - if at all - the leave influences the father's relationship with his child.
Objective: To study (i) the reasons for parents' division of parental leave as well as the consequences this division has for their actual time at home with the child and (ii) the link between the father's leave and his relationship with the child, as well as the parents' division of childcare after parental leave.
Methods: A multi-methods approach is used, where OLS regression models of survey data from the Young Adult Panel Study are analysed alongside qualitative in-depth interviews with 13 couples who have had a first child.
Results: Quantitative results show that parents' leave lengths vary with the reasons given for the division of leave and that fathers' parental leave is related to long-term division of childcare. Qualitative results suggest that equal parenting is important to the interviewed parents; however, motherhood ideals may stand in the way of achieving it. Several mechanisms by which fathers' parental leave may influence later division of childcare are suggested, including the development of a closer relationship between father and child.
Conclusions: Policies aimed towards increasing fathers' parental leave uptake have the potential to strengthen the father - child bond, contribute to a more equal division of childcare, and facilitate both parents' understanding of each other and what being a stay-at-home parent involves.
Contribution: This article is the first to show how parents alleged reasons for the parental leave links to the actual length of the mother's and father's leave. Results indicate that increasing paternal leave length is linked to improved couple relationship quality and a closer relationship with the child."

The transition to parenthood and the division of parental leave in different-sex and female same-sex couples in Sweden (2018)
Zitatform
Evertsson, Marie & Katarina Boye (2018): The transition to parenthood and the division of parental leave in different-sex and female same-sex couples in Sweden. In: European Sociological Review, Jg. 34, H. 5, S. 471-485. DOI:10.1093/esr/jcy027
Abstract
"Research on the division of paid and unpaid work at the transition to parenthood has rarely been able to separate the social construction of gender and motherhood/fatherhood identities from labour market and financial factors. By bringing in female same-sex couples (SSC) and comparing how the transition to parenthood influences the division of parental leave in SSC and different-sex couples (DSC), we can isolate parents' gender as a predictor of the division of care from physiological and identity-forming aspects linked to being a birth-mother (or her partner). Analysing Swedish register data for couples who had their first child in 2003-2011, results show that (i) the (birth) mother's leave uptake is higher than the partner's uptake for both SSC and DSC, providing support for identity formation and internalized norms linked to the child's need of its (birth) mother; (ii) birth-mothers in SSC on average take 7 weeks less parental leave than mothers in DSC, indicating that the partner's gender plays a role; and (iii) the (birth) mother's parental leave share is negatively related to her income but unrelated to her partner's income, suggesting that her labour market prospects are more important in the division of leave than any financial, family-utility maximization."

Gender norms and relative working hours: why do women suffer more than men from working longer hours than their partners? (2018)
Zitatform
Fleche, Sarah, Anthony Lepinteur & Nattavudh Powdthavee (2018): Gender norms and relative working hours. Why do women suffer more than men from working longer hours than their partners? In: AEA papers and proceedings, Jg. 108, S. 163-168. DOI:10.1257/pandp.20181098
Abstract
"Constraints that prevent women from working longer hours are argued to be important drivers of the gender wage gap in the United States. We provide evidence that in couples where the wife's working hours exceed the husband's, the wife reports lower life satisfaction. By contrast, there is no effect on the husband's satisfaction. The results still hold when controlling for relative income. We argue that these patterns are best explained by perceived fairness of the division of household labor, which induces an aversion to a situation where the wife works more at home and on the labor market."

Discrimination against men at work: Experiences in five countries. Working conditions (2018)
Zitatform
Fric, Karel & Camilla Galli da Bino (2018): Discrimination against men at work. Experiences in five countries. Working conditions. (Eurofound research report / European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions), Dublin, 18 S. DOI:10.2806/835224
Abstract
"While discrimination against women at work has long been a mainstream topic in research literature, only marginal attention has been paid to discrimination against men. A number of factors may be responsible for this, including change in traditional occupational roles, cultural perceptions of the 'natures' of men and women, and men's own perception (or lack of perception) of discrimination. This short report investigates whether men face discrimination based on sex in the workplace. It looks at the results of Eurofound's 2015 European Working Conditions Survey and then examines cases from five countries (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, France and the UK). Discrimination is examined in such areas as recruitment, education, healthcare-related services, working time and parenting, and sexual harassment. The cases demonstrate that men do indeed experience discrimination because of their sex. The cases appear to be more concentrated in female-dominated contexts and in instances of adjustment of working time in relation to parental duties." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

A cohort-based analysis of labor force participation for advanced economies (2018)

Grigoli, Francesco, Zsóka Kóczán & Petia Topalova (2018): A cohort-based analysis of labor force participation for advanced economies. (GLO discussion paper / Global Labor Organization 264), Maastricht, 23 S.
Abstract
"Advanced economies are in the midst of a major demographic transition, with the number of elderly rising precipitously relative to the working-age population. Yet, despite the acceleration in demographic shifts in the past decade, advanced economies experienced markedly different trajectories in overall labor force participation rates and the workforce attachment of men and women. Using a cohort-based model of labor force participation for 17 advanced economies estimated over the 1985-2016 period, we document a significant role of common patterns of participation over the life cycle and shifts in these patterns across generations for aggregate labor supply, especially in the case of women. The entry of new cohorts of women led to upward shifts in the age participation profile, boosting aggregate participation rates. However, this process plateaued in most advanced economies, with signs of reversal in some. Using the model's results to forecast future participation trends, we project sizable declines in aggregate participation rates over the next three decades due to the aging of the population. Illustrative simulations show that implementing policies encouraging labor supply can help attenuate but may not fully offset demographic pressures." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Reaching the top or falling behind? The role of occupational segregation in women's chances of finding a high-paying job over the life-cycle (2018)

Gutierrez, Federico H. (2018): Reaching the top or falling behind? The role of occupational segregation in women's chances of finding a high-paying job over the life-cycle. (GLO discussion paper / Global Labor Organization 273), Maastricht, 51 S.
Abstract
"Using a two-stage decomposition technique, this paper analyzes the role of occupational segregation in explaining the probability of women vis-à-vis men of finding high-paying jobs over the life-cycle. Jobs are classified as highly-remunerated if their compensation exceeds a threshold, which is set at different values to span the entire wage distribution. Results obtained from pooled CPS surveys indicate that the importance of occupational segregation remains virtually unchanged over the life-cycle for low- and middle-wage workers. However, women's access to high-paying occupations becomes significantly more restricted as workers age, suggesting a previously undocumented type of 'glass ceiling' in the U.S." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

What Fairness? Gendered Division of Housework and Family Life Satisfaction across 30 Countries (2018)
Zitatform
Hu, Yang & Deniz Yucel (2018): What Fairness? Gendered Division of Housework and Family Life Satisfaction across 30 Countries. In: European Sociological Review, Jg. 34, H. 1, S. 92-105. DOI:10.1093/esr/jcx085
Abstract
"This article sheds new light on the role played by perceived fairness in configuring the relationship between gendered housework division and women's family life satisfaction across 30 countries. This is achieved by distinguishing and comparing two major dimensions of women's fairness comparison -- inter-gender relational comparison between partners and intra-gender referential comparison with other women from the same society. Analysing data from the 2012 International Social Survey Programme, we find that women's family life satisfaction is adversely affected by both a lack of relational fairness and unfavourable referential comparison, which operate independently of each other. Supporting the 'self-serving' theory, women are found to rely more on one dimension of fairness comparison to assess their family life satisfaction when they compare unfavourably rather than favourably in the other dimension. Country-level gender equality positively predicts the strength of the association between relational fairness and family life satisfaction. However, it does not seem to moderate the influence of referential comparison on family life satisfaction. In light of these results, scholars are urged to consider the perceived fairness of housework division as a plural construct, and to promulgate gender equality in multiple dimensions -- addressing not just inter-gender (in)equity but also intra-gender (in)equality -- to move the gender revolution forward."

Abstract
"We quantify the importance of precautionary labour supply defined as the difference between hours supplied in the presence of risk and hours under perfect foresight. Using the German Socio-Economic Panel from 2001 to 2012, we estimate the effect of wage risk on labour supply and test for constrained adjustment of labour supply. We find that married men choose on average about 2.8% of their hours of work to shield against wage shocks. The effect is strongest for self-employed, who we find to be unconstrained in their hours choices, but also relevant for other groups with more persistent hours constraints. If the self-employed faced the same wage risk as the median civil servant, their hours of work would be reduced by 4.5%." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"The Labour Force Survey is used to examine the influence of sector on the UK gender pay gap 1997 - 2015. The assessment is twofold: first comparing gender pay gaps within sectors and second through identifying the contribution of the concentration of women in the public sector to the overall gender pay gap. The long-term narrowing of the gender pay gap, which predominately reflects relative improvements in women's productivity-related characteristics, is found to stall in 2010 within each sector. This is considered in the context of claims that public sector austerity represents a critical turning point in progress toward gender equality at work."

Abstract
"Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit den unterschiedlichen Erwerbsverläufen von Frauen und Männern vor dem Hintergrund des gesellschaftlichen Wandels und untersucht die Beschäftigungs- und Sozialpolitikstrategien der EU im Hinblick auf ihren möglichen Beitrag zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter. Im Rahmen eines konzeptionellen Modells werden Einflussfaktoren auf geschlechtsspezifische Erwerbsmuster über den Lebensverlauf identifiziert und ihr Zusammenwirken beleuchtet. Im Zentrum steht anschließend die Analyse verschiedener beschäftigungs- und sozialpolitischer Initiativen der EU unter Gleichstellungsaspekten. Es wird deutlich, dass die EU zwar ein früher Impulsgeber und Wegbereiter für die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter war, dass Geschlechter- und Gleichstellungsfragen aber im Laufe der Zeit - und verstärkt im Kontext der Finanzkrise - an Gewicht verloren bzw. eine stark ökonomisch motivierte Engführung mit dem Ziel einer möglichst umfassenden Erwerbsintegration von Frauen erfahren haben."

Abstract
"The traditional gendered division of household labor, where women did the bulk of all domestic labor, is eroding. The literature on housework, however, does not discuss the ways how to test for the non-traditional gender performances. Using the American Time Use Survey (2003-2016), the present study fills in this research gap and re-tests the relationship between relative earnings and the performance of housework. The analysis of women's time spent on domestic work shows that the traditional gender display explanation still applies to women's participation in routine tasks such as cooking and cleaning. Thus, breadwinning wives display gender neutralizing behavior and 'do' gender. On the other hand, American men show non-normative gender behavior in cooking and cleaning, but not in maintenance, where they still 'do' gender. This paper unveils a persistent traditional gender performance of women in housework and a new pattern for men's involvement in indoor routine housework."

"The global financial crisis prompted dramatic increases in unemployment and market instability in nearly every state. While the negative effects on national economies have been widespread, distributional outcomes have varied among different labor market groups, particularly between men and women. This article analyzes the gendered impact of the Great Recession on labor markets across the OECD, using random effects modeling of 28 countries across 14 years. We argue that although the start of the crisis afflicted male workers the most, the turn from stimulus toward fiscal austerity policies - including social spending and public employment cuts - exposed women to greater instability."

Abstract
"Die Arbeitsbedingungen von wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern in Deutschland sind durch eine ambivalente Mischung aus hoher Autonomie und interessanten Arbeitsinhalten einerseits, unsicheren Arbeitsverhältnissen und unklaren Karriereaussichten andererseits geprägt. Wir analysieren die Einflussfaktoren der work-life balance in dieser Gruppe und beziehen sowohl den Konflikt von Arbeit und Privatleben (work-life conflict) als auch die wechselseitige Bereicherung (work-life enrichment) ein. Für die empirischen Analysen verwenden wir Daten einer Onlinebefragung von 96 wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern in den Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften einer deutschen Universität aus dem Jahr 2015. Mit linearen Regressionsanalysen untersuchen wir, wie Arbeitsbedingungen und -ressourcen work-life conflict und work-life enrichment beeinflussen. Zentrales Ergebnis unserer Analyse ist, dass insbesondere befristete Verträge und Wochenendarbeit den work-life conflict erhöhen. Eine gute Arbeitsatmosphäre im Team trägt hingegen zu einer Bereicherung des Privatlebens bei." (Autorenreferat, © De Gruyter)

Abstract
"Flexible Arbeitsmodelle gewinnen heute an Bedeutung - ebenso wie die Vorstellung einer 'involvierten' Vaterschaft. Hinsichtlich der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie erweisen sich flexible Formen der Arbeit für Väter jedoch als ambivalent: Einerseits bieten sie Vätern neue Spielräume, andererseits stehen sie für problematische Trends der Arbeitsverdichtung, denen insbesondere Männer aufgrund traditioneller Arbeitsnormen ausgeliefert sind. Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie Väter die Widersprüche flexibler Arbeitsmodelle im Kontext von Vereinbarkeitsansprüchen handhaben. Empirische Grundlage bilden problemzentrierte Interviews mit 32 Vätern aus familienfreundlichen Unternehmen und Verwaltungen der Schweiz. Die Resultate zeigen, dass flexible Arbeitsmodelle Vaterschaftspraxen nur auf symbolischer Ebene verändern, wenn sie von traditionellen Vorstellungen von Männlichkeit und Familie begleitet sind. Erst verknüpft mit partnerschaftlich-egalitären Vorstellungen und unterstützt von einer Arbeitskultur, welche der Sorgeverantwortung von Vätern ausdrücklich Rechnung trägt, können flexible Arbeitsformen auch bei Vätern zu einem Mehr an Familienzeit im Sinne einer gleichberechtigt(er)en Teilhabe an der Kindererziehung führen."

Liwiński, Jacek (2018): The impact of compulsory education on employment and earnings in a transition economy. (GLO discussion paper / Global Labor Organization 193), Maastricht, 46 S.
Abstract
"In 1966 the minimum school-leaving age was increased from 14 to 15 years in Poland. This was a result of extending the primary school education from 7 to 8 years. At the same time, the reform did not affect the education system at post-primary levels, that is the system of secondary and higher education. In result, all education tracks were extended by one year. Using the regression discontinuity design and data from the Polish LFS (2001-2005), we find that the reform had no impact on men's and women's hourly earnings and employment rate. A similar finding was reported earlier for a few Western European countries. However, our study is the first one to estimate the impact of the compulsory schooling extended in a centrally planned economy on the individuals' labour market outcomes in the period of economic transition. Besides, we find that the reform had a negative impact on the hourly earnings of individuals with primary education." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"The literatures on gender status stereotyping and the 'glass-ceiling' have shown that women managers have more difficult job experiences than men, but whether these experiences result in lower job satisfaction is still an open question. Using fixed-effects models in a longitudinal national sample, this study examines differences in job satisfaction between women and men promoted into lower and higher-level management, after controlling for key determinants of job satisfaction. Results indicate that promotions to management are accompanied by an increase in job satisfaction for men but not for women, and that the differing effect lasts beyond the promotion year. Moreover, following promotion, the job satisfaction of women promoted to higher-level management even starts declining. The type of promotion (internal or lateral) does not modify this effect. By clarifying the relationship between gender, promotion to managerial position and job satisfaction, the study contributes to the literature on the gender gap in managerial representation."

Abstract
"Equal pay laws in many OECD countries establish the right of men and women to equal pay for work of equal value. Nevertheless, during the first half of the 20th century, before the enactment of equal pay laws, employers and unions in several countries promoted unequal pay through 'family wage' arrangements. This article seeks to improve understanding of the historical and sociological origins of 'family wage' arrangements through both comparative research and in-depth historical archival research on family wage arrangements in Israel. It shows that unions played a complex role in promoting family wage arrangements. While their action refected their patriarchal understanding of society, they were also guided by socialist principles." (Author's abstract, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons) ((en))
