abstract: 'Some previous studies of the relationship between women''s labor force
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation and household income inequality indicate that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
promotion of the former has an equalizing effect on the latter; other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
studies insist that the promotion of women''s labor force participation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has a widening effect on household income inequality by way of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tendency toward assortative marriage. Hence, the relationship between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s labor force participation and household income inequality is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unclear in the literature. This study aims to clarify the mechanism
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through which the interaction between household income and marriage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
produces social inequality by using mathematical and simulation-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
approaches. The presented findings suggest that the promotion of women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor force participation has a temporary widening effect on household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income inequality, but an attenuating effect in the long run. They also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
state that assortative marriage itself has no widening effect on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household income inequality, but rather an accelerating effect on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
widening inequality. Finally, by applying the model of that mechanism to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Japan, I examine changes in household income inequality in that country.'
