abstract: 'Navigating the labor market in today''s economy has become increasingly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
difficult for those without a college degree. In this study, we ask
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
whether and how working-class men and women in the United States are
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
able to secure gains in wages and/or earnings as they transition to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
parenthood or increase family size. We look closely at child parity,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
employment behavior (e.g., switching employers, taking on multiple jobs,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
increasing hours), and occupation in the year after the birth of a
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
child. Using the 2004 and 2008 panels of the Survey for Income and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Program Participation (SIPP), we employ fixed-effects models to examine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the impact of changing labor market behavior or occupation on wages and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
earnings after the birth of a child. We find limited evidence that low-
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and middle-skill men experience a ``fatherhood premium{''''} after the
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
birth of a child, conditional on child parity and occupation. For men,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
nearly all occupations were associated with a ``wage penalty{''''} after
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the birth of a child (parity varies) compared to the service sector.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, overall higher wages in many male-dominated and white-collar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
occupations make these better options for fathers. For women, we see
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
clear evidence of a ``motherhood penalty,{''''} which is partly accounted
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
for by employment behaviors, such as switching to a salaried job or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
making an occupational change.'
