abstract: 'BACKGROUND While the employment of mothers has received considerable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scholarly attention, the potential role of coresidence with kin for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fostering mothers'' work remains underdeveloped. OBJECTIVE We assess the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationship between kin coresidence, as well as the gender and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment status of kin on mothers'' employment, and hours of work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Further, we compare Brazil and Peru, two South American,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
upper-middle-income countries with divergent patterns of household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structure. METHODS Using nationally representative surveys from Brazil
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and Peru, we estimate linear probability models and Tobit regressions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predicting mothers'' employment and hours of work. RESULTS We find a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positive association between kin coresidence and mothers'' work outcomes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This association differs by the gender and employment status of kin. Our
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
findings show the association between kin coresidence is stronger in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Peru than in Brazil. CONCLUSIONS Scholarly work has shown that mothers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shoulder most of the unpaid family work, imposing constraints on their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities in the labor markets. Coresident kin can help ease these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diverging demands. Our results also suggest that the social norms that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shape household arrangements may also influence support provided by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coresident relatives.'
