abstract: 'The rise in female labor market participation and the growth of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``atypical{''''} employment arrangements has, over the last few decades,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
brought about a steadily decreasing percentage of households in which
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the man is the sole breadwinner, and a rising percentage of dual-earner
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households. Against this backdrop, the paper investigates how household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contexts in which the traditional ``male breadwinner{''''} model still
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exists or has already been challenged affect individuals'' subjective
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evaluations of the justice of their personal earnings. In the first step
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we derive three criteria used by individuals to evaluate the fairness or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
justice of their personal earnings: compensation for services rendered,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coverage of basic needs, and the opportunity to earn social approval. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the second step, we apply considerations from household economics and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
new approaches from gender research to explain why men''s and women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evaluations of justice are determined to a considerable degree by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specific situation within their household. The assumptions derived
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regarding gender-specific patterns in justice attitudes are then tested
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) from 2007 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005. The results support our central thesis that gender-specific
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patterns in the evaluation of personal earnings are both reduced and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increased in dual-earner households. They are reduced because women in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dual-income households tend to have higher income expectations that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
challenge the existing gender wage gap. At the same time,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-specific patterns are increased because men evaluate the equity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of their personal income in relation to their ability to fulfill
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
traditional gender norms and thus their capacity to live up to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding notions of ``masculinity.{''''}'
