Political economy of redistribution between traditional and modern families (2019)

Meier, Volker & Matthew D. Rablen (2019): Political economy of redistribution between traditional and modern families. (CESifo working paper 7658), München, 22 S.
Abstract
"We analyse a model in which families may either be 'traditional' single-earner with caring for the child at home or 'modern' double-earner households using market child care. Family policies may favour either the one or the other group, like market care subsidies vs. cash for care. Policies are determined by probabilistic voting, where allocative and distributional impacts matter, both within and across groups. Due to its impact on intragroup distribution, both types of households are likely to receive subsidies. In early stages of development where most households are traditional, implemented policies favour them, though to a small extent. Net subsidies to traditional households are highest in some intermediate stage, which may explain the implementation of cash for care policies. Such policies will be tightened again in late stages of development, where the vast majority of voters come from modern households. Finally, in an environment in which many traditional households are not entitled to vote (immigrants who have not yet obtained citizenship), redistribution toward them may be abolished and in extreme cases even replaced by net transfers to modern households."

Labour supply and childcare: Allowing both parents to choose (2019)

Mumford, Karen, Antonia Parera-Nicolau & Yolanda Pena-Boquete (2019): Labour supply and childcare: Allowing both parents to choose. (IZA discussion paper 12500), Bonn, 33 S.
Abstract
"We develop and estimate a structural model of labour supply for two parent families in Australia, taking explicit account of the importance of childcare related variables. Our main contribution is to consider the labour supply decisions of both parents and their choice of childcare simultaneously. Labour supply decisions of mothers are found to be substantially more responsive to changes in their own wage (at intensive and extensive margins) than is the case for fathers, with minimal cross-wage labour supply responses from fathers. Our results imply that policies increasing the wage of mothers will be associated with marked increases in labour market participation and in the working hours of mothers in the Australian labour market, with little offsetting decline in the labour supply of fathers."

Eine Analyse individueller Karriereverläufe und -konzepte von Personen in einer Doppelerwerbstätigkeit unter Einbeziehung der Self-Determination Theory. (Empirische Personal- und Organisationsforschung 61), Augsburg: Hampp, 239 S. DOI:10.978.395710/3482
Abstract
"Ein Indiz für die Veränderung individueller Karrieren ist die steigende Anzahl an Personen, die mehr als nur einer beruflichen Tätigkeit nachgehen. Dieses Phänomen adressiert die vorliegende Arbeit durch die Untersuchung narrativer Interviews von Doppelerwerbstätigen. Im Fokus steht die Analyse der Forschungsfragen, warum Individuen freiwillig zwei Beschäftigungen simultan ausüben und wie sie ihre Karriere konzipieren.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Karrierekonzept der selbstbestimmten Doppelerwerbstätigkeit mit der Befriedigung von arbeitsbezogenen Bedürfnissen zusammenhängt und eine Optimierung dieser Bedürfnisse ermöglichen kann. Diese Erkenntnisse untermauern teilweise die Konzepte der new career Idee und reflektieren die drei psychologischen Grundbedürfnisse nach autonomy, relatedness und competence der Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Die Integration dieser Motivationstheorie in die vorliegende Analyse bestätigt außerdem eine fruchtbare und aufschlussreiche interdisziplinäre Verbindung zwischen der SDT und der Karriereforschung. Darüber hinaus wird das weitläufige Verständnis von Karriere als eine sequentielle Abfolge beruflicher Erfahrungen um die Dimension der Simultanität erweitert und dementsprechend kritisch diskutiert."

Migration and career attainment of power couples: the roles of city size and human capital composition (2019)

Abstract
"Costa and Kahn (2000, The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 115: 1287 - 1315) documented that power couples tended to be located in large cities, postulating a need to solve a co-location problem peculiar to dual-career, highly educated spouses. Using data from the 2008 to 2014 American Community Surveys, I find that young full-power couples are more likely to move to larger, better-educated cities relative to couples in which just the husband has a college degree and wife-only power couples more likely than couples in which neither spouse has a college degree. I also present new evidence that larger, better-educated cities offer superior joint husband-and-wife career outcomes as measured by occupational attainment for wives and husbands with college degrees."

Household employment and the crisis in Europe (2019)

Abstract
"The 2008 crisis had a significant impact on household employment in some European countries. An analysis of the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions generated a new cross-national typology of household employment structures and showed how these changed during the crisis and austerity period, capturing the experiences of high and low qualified households. Findings indicate that dual earning households are not always a consequence of gender equality but result from economic necessity or employment opportunities. The re-emergence of traditional male breadwinner households is often the result of female unemployment, especially for lower educated women. An increase in female single earners and workless households is evident in countries hit hardest by the employment crisis. The value of this cross-national typology, rooted in the interaction of educational effects and employment opportunities, is allowing comparison both within and between European countries, going beyond established typologies based on policy frameworks or gender cultures."

Abstract
"We use data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) to explore labor responses of individuals (not only the spouse) to a negative employment shock suffered by another household member. We focus on Italy where family ties other than spousal ones are particularly strong and grown up children live in their parents' household till late, especially when they are students. Two main results emerge. First, we find strong and robust evidence that households hit by an employment shock do respond by increasing labor supply. Second, we document an added worker effect that is affecting not only wives, but also teenage children and students independently of their age, with important policy implications in terms of human capital formation. Results are robust across gender, household financial conditions and the crisis, yet they do not point to differential reactions along these dimensions." (Author's abstract, © Springer-Verlag) ((en))

Abstract
"Female labor force participation varies significantly even among countries with similar levels of economic development. Recent studies have shown that gender norms can help explain these differences in women's work, but the channels through which norms impact women's employment decisions are not well understood. We present novel data on spouses' preferences and perceptions of community attitudes about female labor in rural India and document associations with female work. We find that the perceived social cost of women's work falls on men and that husbands' opposition to female labor is associated with their wives' lower take-up of employment."

Long-term changes in married couples' labor supply and taxes: evidence from the US and Europe since the 1980s (2018)

Abstract
"We document the time-series of employment rates and hours worked per employed by married couples in the US and seven European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the UK) from the early 1980s through 2016. Relying on a model of joint household labor supply decisions, we quantitatively analyze the role of nonlinear labor income taxes for explaining the evolution of hours worked of married couples over time, using as inputs the full country- and year-specific statutory labor income tax codes. We further evaluate the role of consumption taxes, gender and educational wage premia, and the educational composition. The model is quite successful in replicating the time series behavior of hours worked per employed married woman, with labor income taxes being the key driving force. It does however capture only part of the secular increase in married women's employment rates in the 1980s and early 1990s, suggesting an important role for factors not considered in this paper. We will make the non-linear tax codes used as an input into the analysis available as a user-friendly and easily integrable set of Matlab codes." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In this paper, we provide estimates of the subjectively perceived cost of children depending on the extent of parental time restrictions. Building on a study by Koulovatianos et al. (2009) that introduces a novel way of using subjective income evaluation data for such estimations, we conduct a refined version of the underlying survey, focusing on young women with children in Germany. Our study confirms that the monetary cost of children is substantial and increases with parental nonmarket time restrictions. The loss in the material living standard associated with supplying time to the labor market is sizeable for families with children." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Die Dissertation befasst sich mit den Ursachen, den Folgen und dem Wandel der traditionellen Arbeitsteilung in Partnerschaften von Akademikerinnen und Akademikern in Deutschland. Die übergreifende Forschungsfrage ist, welche Auswirkungen die traditionelle Arbeitsteilung infolge der Familiengründung auf die Erwerbsverläufe von Männern und Frauen mit Hochschulabschluss hat. Der Fokus auf Personen mit Hochschulabschluss liegt darin begründet, dass diese Gruppe überdurchschnittlich progressive Werthaltungen mitbringt und als Initiator sozialen Wandels gilt. Aus einer lebensverlaufstheoretischen Perspektive und mit humankapitaltheoretischen und geschlechterrollentheoretischen Erklärungen, werden verschiedene Aspekte der traditionellen Arbeitsteilung untersucht. Es werden die Aushandlungen der Elternzeitverteilung von Paaren zur Ergründung von Ursachen der traditionellen Arbeitsteilung, die Einkommensdifferenz von Männern und Frauen, als eine Folge der traditionellen Arbeitsteilung, sowie Veränderungen der Lebenslaufsmuster von Müttern und Vätern, als Hinweise auf einen Wandel der traditionellen Arbeitsteilung, behandelt. Für die empirischen Analysen werden die Daten der bundesweit repräsentativen DZHW-Absolventenpanel der Abschlussjahrgänge 1997, 2001 und 2005 genutzt. Diese umfassen insgesamt rund 14.500 Hochschulabsolvent(inn)en und deren berufliche und familiale Verläufe über einen Zeitraum von rund zehn Jahren nach dem Abschluss des Studiums. Die Analyseverfahren sind jeweils auf den Untersuchungsgegenstand angepasst und umfassen multivariate Regressionsmodelle, Effektzerlegungen und Sequenzanalysen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Der Beitrag untersucht die Wirkungen der Pendlerzeit des Ehemanns auf die Erwerbsbeteiligung der Ehefrauen und die Zeitverwendung in der Familie. Unter der Modellannahme der imperfekten Substitution von Markt- und Eigenleistungen kann eine Verlängerung der Pendelzeit die Arbeitszeit der Ehefrau mindern, die des pendelnden Ehemanns erhöhen. Bei einer Vergrößerung der Distanz vom Wohnort zum Arbeitsort um ein Prozent sinkt die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Erwerbsbeteiligung der Frau um 0.016. Diese Wirkung erhöht sich bei Familien mit Kindern und bei hochqualifizierten Ehemännern. (IAB)

Abstract
"Marriage is positively correlated with income, and women with children are much less likely to be in poverty if they are married. Selection into marriage makes it difficult to assess whether these correlations represent a causal effect of marriage. One instrument for marriage proposed in past research is the gender of a woman's first child. We find that women who have a boy first are about 0.33 percentage points more likely to be married at any point in time. This effect operates through both increasing the probability that unmarried mothers marry the child's father and reducing the probability of divorce. We also find that women whose first child is a boy experience higher levels of family income and are less likely to receive welfare income, be below the poverty line, and receive food stamps. Estimates using child gender as an instrumental variable for marriage suggest that marriage plays a large causal role in improving the economic well-being of women with children and that these effects are largest among women at the lower end of the income distribution."

The economic crisis and changes in work - family arrangements in six European countries (2018)

Dotti Sani, Guliana Maria (2018): The economic crisis and changes in work - family arrangements in six European countries. In: Journal of European social policy, Jg. 28, H. 2, S. 177-193. DOI:10.1177/0958928717700566
Abstract
"Over the past decades, there has been a substantial increase in female labour force participation, and the number of dual-earner and female-earner households has risen throughout western countries. However, the recent economic crisis has caused large losses in employment for both women and men, potentially yielding unexpected consequences for the evolution of work - family arrangements. This article carries out a comparative analysis of the relationship between the 2008/2009 economic crisis and work - family arrangements in Europe. Using data for six countries from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions, this article fills a gap in the literature by addressing three issues: (1) whether work - family arrangements have changed from before to after the beginning of the economic downturn in countries with different gender and welfare regimes (Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom), (2) whether changes in work - family arrangements have occurred at different levels of the social strata and (3) whether couples have moved from dual-earner to male- or female-breadwinner. The results indicate changes in work - family arrangements in those countries worst hit by the economic crisis, Greece and Spain, where dual-earner and male-breadwinner households have decreased and no-earner and female-main-earner households have increased. Moreover, the results show that in these two countries, all social strata - proxied through women's level of education - have been affected by the crisis. In contrast, only moderate changes in work - family arrangements among all women can be observed in countries less hit by the economic downturn. The findings for the two southern European countries are troubling, as the increases in no-earner and female-breadwinner households point to worsening economic conditions throughout the population and to a halt in the process that for several decades had been leading to more equality in the distribution of employment between genders."

The transition to parenthood and the division of parental leave in different-sex and female same-sex couples in Sweden (2018)

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."

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."

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
"Die Organisation des Zusammenlebens in Familien erfordert von Eltern in der Regel einen Kompromiss zwischen der Kinderbetreuung und dem Erwirtschaften des Lebensunterhaltes. Dies gilt insbesondere für Eltern mit kleinen Kindern unter drei Jahren, die in besonders starkem Umfang der Betreuung bedürfen. Der vorliegende Aufsatz stellt aktuelle Zahlen zur Erwerbstätigkeit von Eltern aus dem Mikrozensus 2016 dar, dabei wird das Konzept der 'realisierten Erwerbstätigkeit' zugrunde gelegt (Personen, die ihre Erwerbstätigkeit durch Mutterschutz oder Elternzeit unterbrochen haben, werden bei diesem Konzept nicht zu den Erwerbstätigen gezählt). Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung stehen Mütter und Väter mit mindestens einem minderjährigen Kind. Es zeigt sich, dass vor allem Mütter mit Kleinkindern seltener einer realisierten Erwerbstätigkeit nachgehen als Väter und dazu noch erheblich häufiger in Teilzeit tätig sind."

Keller, Wolfgang & Hâle Utar (2018): Globalization, gender, and the family. (NBER working paper 25247), Cambrige, Mass., 96 S. DOI:10.3386/w25247
Abstract
"This paper shows that globalization has far-reaching implications for the economy's fertility rate and family structure because they influence work-life balance. Employing population register data on new births, marriages, and divorces together with employer-employee linked data for Denmark, we show that lower labor market opportunities due to Chinese import competition lead to a shift towards family, with more parental leave taking and higher fertility as well as more marriages and fewer divorces. This pro-family, pro-child shift is driven largely by women, not men. Correspondingly, the negative earnings implications of the rising import competition are concentrated on women, and gender earnings inequality increases. We show that the choice of market versus family is a major determinant of worker adjustment costs to labor market shocks. While older workers respond to the shock rather similarly whether female or not, for young workers the fertility response takes away the adjustment advantage they typically have - if the worker is a woman. We find that the female biological clock - women have difficulties to conceive beyond their early forties - is central for the gender differential, rather than the composition of jobs and workplaces, as well as other potential causes."

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."
