Abstract

In this article, we empirically examine the impact of wives' participation in the labor market on family earnings inequality, by paying attention to the dynamic aspect of labor supply by wives. We find that wives' earnings have a moderate equalizing effect on family earnings inequality. Unlike in the United States, cohort effects in earnings inequality are relatively small in Japan. The correlation between husbands' and wives' earnings is small for almost every cohort in our cross-sectional data. The analysis of panel data suggests that married women's employment has a strong persistence, which has a significant impact on the level of family earnings.
日本已婚妇女的劳动供给对家庭收入分配的影响
在本文中,我们通过关注妻子劳动力供给的动态方面,实证检验了妻子参与劳动力市场对家庭收入不平等的影响。我们发现,妻子的收入对家庭收入不平等有适度的平衡作用。与美国不同,日本收入不平等的群体效应相对较小。在我们的横断面数据中,几乎每一个队列中,丈夫和妻子收入之间的相关性都很小。对面板数据的分析表明,已婚女性的就业具有很强的持续性,这对家庭收入水平有显著的影响。
