abstract: 'A non-trivial number of mothers in Japan do not work despite being in
poverty, a pattern of behavior that is inconsistent with both the
predictions of conventional models of labor supply and the articulations
of a ``gender revolution.{''''} This is particularly puzzling given that
well-documented barriers to employment for low-income mothers in the
United States and elsewhere appear to be of limited relevance in Japan.
In this paper, we seek to better understand this pattern of behavior by
describing the reasons that these mothers give for not working and by
examining how the correlates of maternal employment differ for those
whose husbands'' employment income is above and below half of the median
household income. We show that a majority of these mothers report that
their desire to focus on childrearing is a main reason for not working
outside the home. Importantly, this prioritization of childrearing is
unrelated to husband''s income level and the family''s economic need. We
also show that the presence of an infant, attitudinal endorsement of the
primacy of the mother role, and clear gender division of labor are
particularly strong predictors of non-employment among all mothers,
including those married to low-earning men. We discuss these findings in
the context of theories of ``diverging destinies,{''''} focusing on their
potential implications for children''s resources and the process of
social and economic stratification within and across generations.'
