abstract: 'Studies for high-income countries have shown that the prescription that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a man should earn more than his wife holds back women''s performance in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the labour market, evidencing the importance of gender identity norms in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
explaining persistent gender gaps. Using data on couples in Uruguay for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the period 1986-2016, this paper analyses behavioural responses to the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
male breadwinner norm, investigating the role of job informality as an
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
additional mechanism of response to gender norms. My results show that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the higher the probability that the wife earns more than her husband,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the less likely she is to engage in a formal job, providing evidence
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
that gender norms affect not only the quantity of labour supply (i.e.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
labour force participation and hours of work), but also the quality of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
jobs in which women are employed. Moreover, I also identify meaningful
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
effects of the norm on men: those with lower potential earnings than
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
their wives react to the norm by self-selecting into better-paid formal
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
jobs. Not considering these effects would lead to underestimating the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
consequences of gender norms on labour market inequalities in the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
context of developing countries.'
