Abstract

This study theoretically and empirically assesses the gendered relationship between family caregiving (excluding regular childcare) and wage development in the Netherlands applying conflict theory, which predicts a wage penalty due to difficulties in combining paid work and care, and enrichment theory, which expects a wage premium because of acquired skills and recognition. Growth curve modelling was used to analyse hourly wages from 19 years of register data combined with information on caregiving episodes, retrospectively collected among a Dutch sample ( N = 2659 respondents and 324,940 months). Caregiving was distinguished by have-never cared, current caregivers and past caregivers, as well as by duration and intensity. The results showed that men’s wage growth slightly improved after caregiving stopped and when they provided intensive care. Women’s wage development was slightly weaker after caregiving stopped and when they provided intensive care. Thus, only men benefit from caregiving in terms of their wage growth, not women.

工资溢价还是工资罚款？家庭照顾者长期工资的性别发展

本研究从理论上和实证上评估了荷兰家庭照顾（不包括定期托幼）与工资发展之间的性别关系，应用冲突理论（预测由于难以将有偿工作和照顾结合起来而导致的工资惩罚）和充实理论（预计由于获得的技能和认可而导致的工资溢价）。增长曲线模型用于分析19年登记数据的小时工资，并结合护理事件的信息，回顾性收集荷兰样本（N = 2659名受访者，324,940个月）。照护的区别有：从未照护者、现在的照护者和过去的照护者，以及持续时间和强度。结果显示，在停止照顾和提供重症监护后，男性的工资增长略有改善。在停止提供护理和提供重症护理后，妇女的工资发展略有减弱。因此，在工资增长方面，只有男性受益于照顾，而不是女性。
