abstract: 'It is demonstrated that family policies are an important aspect of the
institutional context of earnings inequality among coupled households.
Although seldom integrated into prominent analyses of economic
inequality, women''s earnings are consistently found to reduce relative
inequality among households. This means that family policies, as
well-known determinants of women''s employment and earnings, are
important contextual determinants of economic inequality. Using
Luxembourg Income Study data from 18 OECD countries in the period
1981-2008, this study demonstrates that women have higher earnings, and
that their earnings reduce inequality among coupled households more in
institutional contexts with generous paid leave and public childcare. We
found no sizeable association between financial support policies, such
as family allowances and tax benefits to families with children, and the
degree to which women''s earnings contribute to inequality among coupled
households. Family policy arrangements that facilitate women''s
employment and earnings are associated with less economic inequality
among coupled households.'
