This study extends research by studying the long-term impact of marriage and the anticipation effect before marriage. We estimate fixed-effects and fixed-effects individual slopes panel models to identify the impact of marriage and childbearing on occupational status using retrospective data from Egypt’s Labor Market Panel Survey for 2018. After accounting for selection based on levels and growth of occupational status, this study found that women witness a marriage premium only in years 4 and 7 after marriage, contrary to the fixed-effects estimates. This result shows that the premium witnessed by married women in the other years is due to selection into marriage based on both status levels and growth. Hence, accounting for various type of selection and estimating a yearly heterogeneous impact of marriage are crucial in estimating the marriage premium. Two possible mechanisms that might result in changes in occupational status are examined. Changes in work experience or employment sector explain the occupational adjustment that happens during the years of marriage, which demonstrates the importance of building women’s human capital and the role of providing public sector jobs that facilitates women’s double-shift roles. The results do not point to an effect of child-birth parities on the occupational status, but rather a marriage premium.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 101075"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144595927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most studies indicate that increased women's employment reduces household inequality, a few suggest the opposite effect. This research investigated whether shifts in the division of paid work (i.e., changes in the working hours) among heterosexual couples, as compared to changes in women's work alone, contribute to changes in income inequality. It also examined whether the selection of couples into the different types of division of paid work based on their level of education is a mechanism underlying the growing inequality. Based on counterfactual analyses of data from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS), encompassing 21 OECD countries, the findings demonstrate shifts in couples' division of paid work, particularly the increase in fulltime dual-earner households, are associated with rising income inequality in most countries studied. However, changes in educational attainment were not found to be the mechanism underlying the association between changes in couples' division of paid work and changes in income inequality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 101084"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144722356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because school choice requires ample family resources, it is an important form of educational investment in children. However, the drivers and long-term implications of school choice have not been thoroughly examined in the existing literature, especially in contexts with few school-choice programs. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (2010–2020), this study examines the determinants of school choice strategies and how these strategies influence educational outcomes. Results show that nearly a quarter of Chinese children are enrolled in non-neighborhood schools through both formal and informal channels. The child’s gender, academic performance, and family socioeconomic status are all relevant to school choice decisions. Choosing schools through address change and gifted/talented programs enhances the likelihood of high school attendance for both urban and rural children, while school choice through sponsorships and social networks increases high school attendance only in rural areas. School choice through gifted/talented programs is associated with a higher likelihood of college attendance. Nevertheless, not all school choice strategies are conducive to positive schooling experiences and attainment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 101065"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144195109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, we explore how gender and SES interact in shaping applicants’ strategies and.their admission chances. Third, we consider the role of students’ GPA and how different social groups use compensatory strategies to enhance their chances of admission. The Norwegian context is well suited to study this topic because of its comprehensive education system and its field-specific selectivity in higher education,which is mainly based on candidates’ grade point average (GPA), but also offers opportunities to invest in certain strategies to gain access to the most prestigious fields of study. Using full population register data and discrete survival models, we find that high-SES candidates and women have a greater chance of getting admitted, which is mainly explained by their higher GPA. High-SES and male applicants are somewhat more likely to use strategies to meet admission criteria that the Norwegian admission system offers, especially if they have low GPAs, indicating a system of compensatory advantage. However, these overall small differences in strategies seem to perpetuate already existing inequalities rather than increasing or alleviating them.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 101061"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144135032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, research has not evaluated parental contextual education’s role in Asian Americans’ high educational mobility—the weak association between parental and offspring education. Drawing on a linked dataset of the National Education Longitudinal Study and the Barro-Lee Educational Attainment Dataset, this study extends knowledge of contextual education’s role for Asian Americans’ education outcomes. Consistent with prior research, the analysis finds that parental contextual education accounts for a portion of the Chinese and Korean children of immigrants’ higher average education levels relative to later generation White respondents. Parental contextual education also accounts for a portion of the weak parent-offspring education association among Chinese and Korean children of immigrants.

Our review underlines significant differences in callback rates as well as variability in effect sizes across applicant and occupational characteristics. We also find that certain chronic health conditions and impairments have received more empirical attention than others. Exploring discrimination levels across a wider range of chronic conditions and impairments is necessary to move beyond monolithic understandings of disability as a binary ascriptive status and to discern different causal mechanisms associated with adverse employment outcomes among different subgroups.

Second, the counseling program altered these evaluations and enrollment rates in distinct ways depending on students’ social background and gender.

Drawing on large-scale administrative census data (1970, 1980, 1990, 2000) and annual structural surveys (2011–2020), social changes across pseudo-birth cohorts (1920–1994) at two career stages (ages 25–30 and 45–50) are analyzed. Two questions are investigated: (1) How have inequalities in occupational status between men and women with similar levels of educational attainment shifted over time? (2) Which mechanisms – such as part-time work, childcare responsibilities, and sector allocation – explain these gender differences, and how have their impacts changed? The findings reveal that although raw gender gaps in occupational status have narrowed in younger cohorts – particularly at early career stages – significant disparities persist when accounting for key mechanisms. A Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition shows that part-time work and labor market segregation continue to produce gendered penalties. The results underscore that even as women’s educational attainment has surpassed that of men in recent cohorts, structural factors continue to limit full returns to education for women, in regard to their occupational status.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47384,"journal":{"name":"Research in Social Stratification and Mobility","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 101070"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144366339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
