abstract: 'This study examines the importance of prenatal characteristics of men
|
|
|
|
and women in couples for how they change their time spent on housework
|
|
|
|
and paid work after the transition to parenthood. We focus on both
|
|
|
|
partners'' earnings and gender role attitudes as explanatory factors.
|
|
|
|
Previous research explored the importance of women''s relative income and
|
|
|
|
both partners'' gender role attitudes for the extent to which the
|
|
|
|
division of labour becomes more traditional among new parents. We extend
|
|
|
|
this literature by including women''s absolute earnings, which may be
|
|
|
|
crucial given the very high costs of formal childcare in Britain. The
|
|
|
|
statistical analysis of 310 couples is based on 16 waves of the British
|
|
|
|
Household Panel Survey (1992-2007) and applies OLS models with Heckman
|
|
|
|
selection correction. The findings suggest that higher absolute wages
|
|
|
|
and more egalitarian attitudes of women before motherhood reduce the
|
|
|
|
shift towards a more traditional division of labour after couples have
|
|
|
|
their first child. In the British context, higher relative wages of
|
|
|
|
women compared to their partners are not significant.'
