abstract: 'In many OECD countries, women are underrepresented in high status, high
paying occupations and overrepresented in lower status work. One reason
for this inequity is the ``motherhood penalty,{''''} where women with
children face more roadblocks in hiring and promotions than women
without children or men with children. This research focuses on
divergent occupational outcomes between men and women with children and
analyzes whether parental gender gaps in occupational status are more
extreme for immigrant populations. Using data from the Luxembourg
Cross-National Data Center, I compare changes in gendered occupational
segregation from 2000 to 2016 in Germany and the USA among immigrant and
native-born parents. Multinomial logistic regression models and
predicted probabilities show that despite instituting policies intended
to reduce parental gender inequality in the workforce, Germany fares
worse than the USA in gendered occupational outcomes overall. While the
gap between mothers'' and fathers'' probabilities of employment in high
status jobs is shrinking over time in Germany, particularly for
immigrant mothers, Germany''s gender gaps in professional occupations are
consistently larger than gaps in the US. Likewise, gender gaps in
elementary/labor work participation are also larger in Germany, with
immigrant mothers having a much higher likelihood of working in
labor/elementary occupations than any other group-including US immigrant
women. These findings suggest that work-family policies-at least those
implemented in Germany-are not cure-all solutions for entrenched gender
inequality. Results also demonstrate the importance of considering the
interaction between gender and other demographic characteristics-like
immigrant status-when determining the potential effectiveness of
proposed work-family policies.'
