abstract: 'This paper investigates the role of the rise in services in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
narrowing of gender gaps in hours and wages in recent decades. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highlight the between-industry component of differential gender trends
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the United States and propose a model economy with goods, services,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and home production, in which women have a comparative advantage in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
producing services. The rise of services, driven by structural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transformation and marketization of home production, raises women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relative wages and market hours. Quantitatively, the model accounts for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an important share of the observed trends in women''s hours and relative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wages.'
