|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
lives remain invisible in studies focusing on single outcomes. Further,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
single outcome studies tend to conflate labor market inequalities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
related to gender, race, and family situation. We combine an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
intersectional and quantitative life course perspective to analyze
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parallel work and family lives for Black and White men and women aged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
22-44. Results using sequence analysis and data from the National
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) show that White men enjoy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
privileged opportunities to combine work and family life and elicit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
specific gendered and racialized constraints for Black men and women and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
White women. Black women experience the strongest interdependence
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between work and family life: events in their work lives constrain and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
condition their family lives and vice versa. For Black men, stable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
partnerships and career success mutually support and sustain each other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
over the life course. In contrast, for Black women, occupational success
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
goes along with the absence of stable partnerships. Precarious and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unstable employment is associated with early single parenthood for all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups supporting instability spillovers between life domains that are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
most prevalent among Black women, followed by Black men. The findings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highlight a sizeable group of resourceful Black single mothers who hold
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
stable middle-class jobs and have often gone unnoticed in previous
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research. We conclude that economic interventions to equalize
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities in education, employment, and earnings, particularly early
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in life, are more promising for reducing intersectional inequalities in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work-family life courses than attempting to intervene in family lives.'
