Abstract

There is an abundance of research on the motherhood wage penalty, but few studies have looked at stepmotherhood and its association with women’s work hours, labor market experience, and wages. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1979–2016) this study presents results of descriptive statistics and fixed effects regressions. We find that married residential stepmotherhood is a relatively transitory experience. Further, the transition to parenthood was associated with a reduction in all women’s time at work, but was smaller for stepmothers and larger for biological mothers. Compared to married biological mothers, residential stepmothers spent more time at work, accumulated more labor market experience, and did not pay a motherhood wage penalty. These results broaden our understanding of how different pathways to motherhood may impact the nature of women’s relationships with their children, and in turn, other aspects of women’s lives including women’s work–family experiences.
继母要付工资吗?
有大量关于母亲工资惩罚的研究,但很少有研究关注继母及其与女性工作时间、劳动力市场经验和工资的关系。利用全国青年纵向调查(1979–2016),本研究提供了描述性统计和固定效应回归的结果。我们发现,已婚家庭继母是一种相对短暂的经历。此外,为人父母的转变与所有女性工作时间的减少有关,但继母的工作时间较小,生母的工作时间较大。与已婚的亲生母亲相比,居住在家的继母花更多的时间在工作上,积累了更多的劳动力市场经验,并且没有支付母亲工资。这些结果拓宽了我们对不同的母亲之路如何影响女性与子女关系的性质的理解,进而影响女性生活的其他方面,包括女性的工作和家庭经历。
