abstract: 'The typical U.S. workplace has adapted little to changes in the family
|
|
|
|
and remains bound to norms of a workweek of 40 or more hours. How jobs
|
|
|
|
are structured and remunerated within occupations shapes gender
|
|
|
|
inequality in the labor market, and this may be particularly true at the
|
|
|
|
critical juncture of parenthood. This study provides novel evidence
|
|
|
|
showing how the inflexibility of occupational work hours shapes new
|
|
|
|
mothers'' employment. We use a fixed-effects approach and individual
|
|
|
|
-level data from nationally representative panels of the Survey of
|
|
|
|
Income and Program Participation (N=2,239 women) merged with
|
|
|
|
occupational characteristics from the American Community Survey. We find
|
|
|
|
that women in pre-birth occupations with higher shares working 40 or
|
|
|
|
more hours per week and higher wage premiums to longer work hours are
|
|
|
|
significantly less likely to be employed post-birth. These associations
|
|
|
|
are small in magnitude and not statistically significant for men, and
|
|
|
|
placebo regressions with childless women show no associations between
|
|
|
|
occupational inflexibility and subsequent employment. Results illustrate
|
|
|
|
how individual employment decisions are jointly constrained by the
|
|
|
|
structure of the labor market and persistent gendered cultural norms
|
|
|
|
about breadwinning and caregiving.'
