abstract: 'Over recent decades, the rise in female labor market participation and
|
|
|
|
the increase in ``atypical{''''} employment arrangements have brought
|
|
|
|
about a steady decline in traditional ``male breadwinner{''''} households
|
|
|
|
and an increasing number of dual-earner households. Against this
|
|
|
|
backdrop, the present paper investigates how different household
|
|
|
|
contexts-ranging from traditional ``male breadwinner{''''} households to
|
|
|
|
those challenging this model through joint contributions to household
|
|
|
|
income-affect household members'' subjective evaluations of the justice
|
|
|
|
of their personal income. In the first step, we derive three criteria
|
|
|
|
used by individuals to evaluate the justice of personal earnings:
|
|
|
|
compensation for services rendered, coverage of basic needs, and the
|
|
|
|
opportunity to earn social approval. In the second step, we apply
|
|
|
|
considerations from household economics and new approaches from gender
|
|
|
|
research to explain why men''s and women''s evaluations of justice are
|
|
|
|
determined to a considerable degree by the specific situation within
|
|
|
|
their household. The assumptions derived regarding gender-specific
|
|
|
|
patterns in justice attitudes are then tested on longitudinal data from
|
|
|
|
the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). The results support our
|
|
|
|
central thesis that dual-earner households both reinforce and undermine
|
|
|
|
gender-specific patterns in the evaluation of personal earnings. These
|
|
|
|
patterns are undermined because women in dual-income households tend to
|
|
|
|
have higher income expectations that challenge the existing gender wage
|
|
|
|
gap. At the same time, gender-specific patterns are reinforced because
|
|
|
|
men evaluate the justice of their personal income in relation to their
|
|
|
|
ability to fulfill traditional gender norms. (C) 2011 International
