Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates to what extent a working wife helped her family escape poverty and how this function developed during the great recession, based on analyses using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data. I use an extension of the standard Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition framework that decomposes the working wife’s effect on the proportion of families below poverty. I found that wife’s earnings reduced the average family poverty level by around 10 percentage points during the great recession but by over 30 percentage points for families with unemployed husbands.

大萧条时期已婚妇女劳动力市场参与对贫困的影响

本研究基于收入和计划参与调查(SIPP)数据的分析，调查了职业妻子在多大程度上帮助她的家庭摆脱贫困，以及这种作用在大衰退期间是如何发展的。我使用了标准布林德-瓦哈卡分解框架的扩展，该框架分解了职业妻子对贫困以下家庭比例的影响。我发现，在经济大衰退期间，妻子的收入使家庭平均贫困水平降低了约10个百分点，但在丈夫失业的家庭中，这一比例超过了30个百分点。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
