abstract: 'In many OECD countries, women are underrepresented in high status, high
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
paying occupations and overrepresented in lower status work. One reason
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for this inequity is the ``motherhood penalty,{''''} where women with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
children face more roadblocks in hiring and promotions than women
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
without children or men with children. This research focuses on
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
divergent occupational outcomes between men and women with children and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
analyzes whether parental gender gaps in occupational status are more
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
extreme for immigrant populations. Using data from the Luxembourg
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Cross-National Data Center, I compare changes in gendered occupational
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
segregation from 2000 to 2016 in Germany and the USA among immigrant and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
native-born parents. Multinomial logistic regression models and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
predicted probabilities show that despite instituting policies intended
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to reduce parental gender inequality in the workforce, Germany fares
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
worse than the USA in gendered occupational outcomes overall. While the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gap between mothers'' and fathers'' probabilities of employment in high
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
status jobs is shrinking over time in Germany, particularly for
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
immigrant mothers, Germany''s gender gaps in professional occupations are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
consistently larger than gaps in the US. Likewise, gender gaps in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
elementary/labor work participation are also larger in Germany, with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
immigrant mothers having a much higher likelihood of working in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
labor/elementary occupations than any other group-including US immigrant
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
women. These findings suggest that work-family policies-at least those
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
implemented in Germany-are not cure-all solutions for entrenched gender
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
inequality. Results also demonstrate the importance of considering the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
interaction between gender and other demographic characteristics-like
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
immigrant status-when determining the potential effectiveness of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
proposed work-family policies.'
