abstract: 'This article advances a couple-level framework to examine how parenthood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shapes within-family gender inequality by education in three countries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that vary in their normative and policy context: the United States,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Germany, and the United Kingdom. We trace mothers'' share of couple
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings and variation by her education in the 10-year window around
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
first birth, using long-running harmonized panel surveys from the 1990s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and 2000s (N= 4,117 couples and 28,488 couple-years) and an event study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
methodology that leverages within-couple variation in earnings pre- and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
post-birth. Our results show steep declines in her share of couple
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings following first birth across the three countries that persist
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
over several years of follow-up. Declines are smallest in the United
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
States, due to U.S. mothers'' higher employment and longer work hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Declines are also smaller among female partners without a college degree
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the United States, where mothers have less work-family support and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fewer options to manage work and family on one income. Results shed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
light on how parenthood plays into gender inequality within couples, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
how country context shapes couple dynamics and inequality across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households.'
