abstract: 'Using the 1996 Indiana Quality of Employment Survey, we reexamine gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and class differences in the effects of domestic work and family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics on earnings. We expand upon Coverman''s (1983) original
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
model by including several new measures. We find that the gender gap in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
domestic work has narrowed considerably, not because men are doing more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
but because women are doing less than they were twenty years ago.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Women''s earnings suffer more than men''s from time spent on domestic work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and generally benefit more from partners'' domestic help. Women''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings are more advantaged than men''s by having preschool children,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and men''s earnings are more advantaged when their partner works. We find
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant class differences in the effects of domestic work between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working-class and non-working class women and in the effects of family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics between working-class and non-working class men.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-working class women''s earnings suffer more from time they put into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
domestic work, but their earnings generally benefit more from partners''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or outside domestic help. Working-class men''s earnings are more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
advantaged by having school-age children and more disadvantaged by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
having progressive gender ideologies. Non-working class men''s earnings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefit more when their partners hold a job but suffer more as their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
partners work more hours.'
