Gender disparities in European labour markets: a comparison between female and male employees (2018)
Zitatform
Castellano, Rosalia & Antonella Rocca (2018): Gender disparities in European labour markets. A comparison between female and male employees. In: International Labour Review, Jg. 157, H. 4, S. 589-608. DOI:10.1111/ilr.12052
Abstract
"In recent decades, the dramatic increase in female labour force participation was connected to significant changes in the economic opportunities reserved to women. However, gender disparities in the labour market still persist in many forms.
In this study we want to verify if in the European labour markets higher gender differentials are directly connected with bad economic conditions. Starting from the GGLMI, a composite indicator designed and developed by the authors in a previous study, besides updating the results, we construct other three composite indicators analysing separately female and male conditions in the labour market and the gender gap."

Devaraj, Srikant, Narda R. Quigley & Pankaj C. Patel (2018): The effects of skin tone, height, and gender on earnings. In: PLoS one, Jg. 13, H. 1, S. 1-22. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0190640
Abstract
"Using a theoretical approach grounded in implicit bias and stereotyping theories, this study examines the relationship between observable physical characteristics (skin tone, height, and gender) and earnings, as measured by income. Combining separate streams of research on the influence of these three characteristics, we draw from a sample of 31,356 individual-year observations across 4,340 individuals from the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY) 1997. We find that skin tone, height, and gender interact such that taller males with darker skin tone attain lower earnings; those educated beyond high school, endowed with higher cognitive ability, and at the higher income level (>75th percentile) had even lower levels of earnings relative to individuals with lighter skin tone. The findings have implications for implicit bias theories, stereotyping, and the human capital literature within the fields of management, applied psychology, and economics."

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."

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."

Fathers on call?: a study on the sharing of care work between parents in Sweden (2018)

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."

Entgeltgleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern in mittleren und großen Betrieben (2018)

Frodermann, Corinna, Alexandra Schmucker & Dana Müller (2018): Entgeltgleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern in mittleren und großen Betrieben. (IAB-Forschungsbericht 03/2018), Nürnberg, 57 S.
Abstract
"Hintergrund des Projektes ist die in Deutschland nach wie vor bestehende Lohnlücke zwischen Frauen und Männern. Zwar ist ein großer Teil des sogenannten Gender Pay Gaps dadurch zu erklären, dass Frauen häufiger in Teilzeit erwerbstätig sind, eher ihre Erwerbstätigkeit aufgrund familiärer Umstände unterbrechen und seltener in gut bezahlten Führungspositionen bzw. den Hochlohnbranchen der Industrie beschäftigt sind. Doch selbst bei vergleichbaren Qualifikationen und Tätigkeiten verdienen Frauen auf den gleichen Positionen wie Männer durchschnittlich immer noch weniger.
Um das Prinzip 'Gleicher Lohn für gleiche Arbeit' stärker voranzubringen, trat 2017 ein Gesetz zur Förderung der Transparenz von Entgeltstrukturen (Entgelttransparenzgesetz) in Kraft. Es sieht unter anderem vor, dass Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter in Firmen mit mehr als 200 Beschäftigten von ihren Arbeitgebern Auskunft darüber verlangen können, wie viel Geld ihre Kolleginnen und Kollegen in vergleichbaren Positionen verdienen.
Ziel des Projektes, das im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (BMFSFJ) durchgeführt wurde, ist die Untersuchung der Entgelt- und Chancengleichheit von Frauen und Männern. Dabei wurde ein Vergleich hergestellt zwischen kleinen Betrieben, für die das Gesetz nicht gilt, und großen Betrieben. Es zeigt sich zunächst, dass insgesamt lediglich 0,7 Prozent aller Betriebe und 32 Prozent aller Beschäftigten von dem im Entgelttransparenzgesetz geschaffenen Instrument 'individueller Auskunftsanspruch' erfasst werden.
Von weiterem Interesse ist insbesondere die Höhe des Gender Pay Gaps. Dieser ist in Betrieben mit 50 bis 200 Beschäftigten am kleinsten (20%). In Betrieben mit 200 bis 500 Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeitern ist er hingegen am höchsten (28%). Die Unterschiede nach Betriebsgrößen sind den steigenden Stundenlöhnen von Männern in großen Betrieben und den relativ gleichbleibenden Stundenlöhnen von Frauen geschuldet. In großen Betrieben lassen sich mehr als zwei Drittel des Gender Pay Gap durch die Unterschiede in der Ausstattung von Männern und Frauen erklären, in kleinen Betrieben lässt sich dadurch nur die Hälfte erklären. Insgesamt ist die Förderung der Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern als Unternehmensstrategie noch zu wenig in Betrieben etabliert. Eine Ausnahme bildet das konkrete Ziel der Förderung von Frauen in Führungspositionen, welches von der Hälfte der großen Betriebe explizit verfolgt wird." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku) -

Women, wealth effects, and slow recoveries (2018)

Abstract
"Business cycle recoveries have slowed in recent decades. This slowdown comes entirely from female employment: as women's employment rates converged towards men's over the past half-century, the growth rate of female employment slowed. We ask whether this slowdown in female employment caused the slowdown in overall employment during recent business cycle recoveries. Standard macroeconomic models with 'balanced growth preferences' imply that this cannot be the cause, since the entry of women 'crowds out' men in the labor market almost one-for-one. We estimate the extent of crowd out of men by women in the labor market using state-level panel data and find that it is small, contradicting the standard model. We show that a model with home production by women can match our low estimates of crowd out. This model - calibrated to match our cross-sectional estimate of crowd out - implies that 70% of the slowdown in recent business cycle recoveries can be explained by female convergence."

Abstract
"We use panel fixed effects estimation with a border approach creating cross-border county pairs to identify changes in food sales tax rates on employment, payroll, and hiring. Results suggest food sales taxes have a negligible effect on overall employment but adverse effects in the food and beverage stores industry. We find younger workers, who are more likely to work in the food and beverage industry, are more adversely affected when a neighboring state has preferential tax treatment for food. We also determine that omitting food sales tax rates when studying general sales tax effects on employment does not bias estimates."

Drivers of labor force participation in advanced economies: macro and micro evidence (2018)

Grigoli, Francesco, Zsóka Kóczán & Petia Topalova (2018): Drivers of labor force participation in advanced economies. Macro and micro evidence. (GLO discussion paper / Global Labor Organization 265), Maastricht, 39 S.
Abstract
"Despite significant headwinds from population aging in most advanced economies (AEs), labor force participation rates show remarkably divergent trajectories both across countries and across different groups of workers. Participation increased sharply among prime-age women and, more recently, older workers, but fell among the young and prime-age men. This paper investigates the determinants of these trends using aggregate and individual-level data. We find that the bulk of the dramatic increase in the labor force attachment of prime-age women and older workers in the past three decades can be explained by changes in labor market policies and institutions, structural transformation, and gains in educational attainment. Technological advances such as automation, on the other hand, weighed on the labor supply of prime-age and older workers. In light of the dramatic demographic shifts expected in the coming decades in many AEs, our findings underscore the need to invest in education and training, reform the tax system, reduce early retirement incentives, improve the job-matching process, and help individuals combine family and work life in order to alleviate the pressures from aging on labor supply."

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))

In einem Experiment hat Lena Hipp, Leiterin der Nachwuchsgruppe Arbeit und Fürsorge, mit ihrem Team jetzt untersucht, ob sich eine veränderte Aufteilung von Kinderbetreuung positiv auf die Erwerbschancen von Müttern auswirkt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das nicht unbedingt der Fall ist. Mütter mit lediglich zwei Monaten Elternzeit werden deutlich seltener zum Vorstellungsgespräch eingeladen als Frauen, die ein Jahr Elternzeit genommen haben. Bei den Vätern dagegen spielt die Dauer der Elternzeit keine Rolle." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

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
"In nahezu allen 28 Mitgliedsstaaten der Europäischen Union ist die Erwerbsbeteiligung Älterer von 2005 bis 2016 gestiegen. Trotz dieses praktisch universellen Trends, gibt es erhebliche Unterschiede innerhalb der EU. Die europäischen Beschäftigungsziele von 2010 wurden auch im Jahr 2016 teilweise nicht erreicht.
Große Unterschiede in der Alterserwerbsbeteiligung zeigen sich vor allem zwischen Männern und Frauen. In der Regel sind die Erwerbstätigenquoten der Männer höher als die der Frauen. Die stärkeren Zuwächse sind allerdings auf Seiten der Frauen zu beobachten.
Der Abstand der Erwerbstätigenquoten zwischen jüngeren und älteren Erwerbstätigen - die Alterslücke - wird kleiner. Auch dies ist in nahezu allen Ländern vorzufinden. Die Alterslücken von Männern und Frauen unterscheiden sich in den meisten Ländern der EU nicht wesentlich voneinander. Vor allem die stärkere Erwerbsintegration älterer Frauen lässt die Alterslücke kleiner werden.
Geringqualifizierte (Ältere) sind in den meisten europäischen Ländern benachteiligt, wenngleich in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß. Es zeigt sich eine starke Streuung innerhalb der EU bei dieser Personengruppe. Mit steigender Qualifikation sinkt hingegen die Alterslücke. Höhere Bildungsabschlüsse erhöhen die Erwerbschancen auch für Ältere.
Die Alterslücke ist nahezu überall in Europa gesunken, auch in Ländern mit langanhaltender rückläufiger wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung. Im Vergleich zu früheren Rezessionen ist die relativ stabile Alterserwerbsbeteiligung in Europa ein Novum, denn in der Vergangenheit wurden bei hoher Arbeitslosigkeit Ältere vielfach vom Arbeitsmarkt verdrängt."

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."

"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."

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
"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))
