Abstrakt:

We (joint paper with Wonjeong Jeong, Cornell University)  draw from gender perspectives on the division of labor and emerging research on structural sexism to conceptualize and operationalize systemic gender inequality and how it shapes within-couple earnings inequality following the transition to parenthood. Our data on pre- and post-birth earnings come from successive couple-level panels of the Current Population Survey over four decades, merged to U.S. state-level indicators that tap the devaluation of work done by women across multiple domains. Fixed effect models provide robust evidence that structural sexism exacerbates earnings inequality among parents, with implications for mothers’ economic vulnerability and well-being.
