abstract: 'ObjectiveThis study examines the re-employment prospects and short-term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
career consequences for mothers and fathers who lost their jobs during
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the COVID-19 pandemic. BackgroundThe pandemic recession has been dubbed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a ``shecession,{''''} but few studies have explored whether mothers paid a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher or lower price upon labor market re-entry than fathers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MethodThis study draws on March 2020-December 2022 Current Population
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Survey data and focuses on partnered parents with children under age 13
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the household. Exploiting four-month panels, we use multi-level
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrete-time event history models to predict re-employment and linear
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regression models to predict job-level wage upon re-employment, while
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
controlling for a wide array of factors. ResultsPartnered fathers were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more likely than partnered mothers to find re-employment during the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pandemic. The gender gap in re-employment was concentrated only among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents without a bachelor''s degree and persisted when all controls were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
held constant. Moreover, upon re-employment, fathers had higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
job-level wages than mothers, which was consistent across educational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
levels. Even with the same job-level wage before labor market exit,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers were penalized on re-entry relative to fathers and this penalty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
was rooted in gendered job segregation. ConclusionThis study extends
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
previous research by analyzing re-employment and a critical material
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcome for parents (i.e., job-level wage upon re-employment) during the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
entire pandemic, including the ``new normal{''''} (late 2022). The results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reveal the intersectional inequalities in family and work: Compared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fathers, mothers, particularly less-educated mothers, paid a higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
price for their time out of work during the pandemic.'
