abstract: 'This paper examines how culture impacts within-couple gender inequality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exploiting the setting of Germany''s division and reunification, I
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compare child penalties of East Germans who were socialised in a more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender egalitarian culture to West Germans socialised in a gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-traditional culture. Using a household panel, I show that the long-run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
child penalty on the female income share is 23.9 percentage points for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
West German couples, compared to 12.9 for East German couples. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arrival of children also leads to a greater increase in the female share
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of housework and child care for West Germans. I add to the main findings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by using time-use diary data from the German Democratic Republic (GDR)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and reunified Germany, which provides a rare insight into gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in the GDR and allows me to compare the effect of having
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children in the GDR to the effects in East and West Germany after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reunification. Lastly, I show that attitudes towards maternal employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are more egalitarian among East Germans, but that the arrival of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children leads to more traditional attitudes for both East and West
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Germans. The findings confirm that socialisation has a strong impact on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
child penalties and that family policies may have an impact on gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality through social learning in the long run.'
