abstract: 'This article focuses on how flexible work arrangements affect motherhood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage penalties for differently situated women. While theories of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work-life facilitation suggest that flexible work should ease motherhood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
penalties, the use of flexibility policies may also invite stigma and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bias against mothers. Analyses using Canadian linked workplace-employee
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
data test these competing perspectives by examining how temporal and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
spatial flexibility moderate motherhood wage penalties and how this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
varies by women''s education. Results show that flexible work hours
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
typically reduce mothers'' disadvantage, especially for the university
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educated, and that working from home also reduces wage gaps for most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational groups. The positive effect of flexibility operates chiefly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by reducing barriers to mothers'' employment in higher waged
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
establishments, although wage gaps within establishments are also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diminished in some cases. While there is relatively little evidence of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flexibility stigma, the most educated do face stronger wage penalties
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
within establishments when they substitute paid work from home for face
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time at the workplace as do the least educated when they bring
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
additional unpaid work home. Overall, results are most consistent with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the work-life facilitation model. However, variability in the pattern of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects underscores the importance of looking at the intersection of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers'' education and workplace arrangements.'
