abstract: 'Prominent research has claimed that work-family reconciliation policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
trigger `tradeoffs'' and `paradoxes'' in terms of gender equality with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adverse labor market consequences for women. These claims have greatly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
influenced debates regarding social policy, work, family and gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality. Motivated by limitations of prior research, we analyze the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationship between the two most prominent work-family reconciliation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies (paid parental leave and public childcare coverage) and seven
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market outcomes (employment, full-time employment, earnings,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
full-time earnings, being a manager, being a lucrative manager and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
occupation percent female). We estimate multilevel models of individuals
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nested in a cross-section of 21 rich democracies near 2005, and two-way
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fixed effects models of individuals nested in a panel of 12 rich
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
democracies over time. The vast majority of coefficients for work-family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies fail to reject the null hypothesis of no effects. The pattern
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of insignificance occurs regardless of which set of models or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coefficients one compares. Moreover, there is as much evidence that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly contradicts the `tradeoff hypothesis'' as is consistent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with the hypothesis. Altogether, the analyses undermine claims that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work-family reconciliation policies trigger trade-offs and paradoxes in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
terms of gender equality with adverse labor market consequences for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women.'
