摘要

职业隔离是造成男女工资差距的一个重要原因,女性从事以女性为主的低薪职业。我们研究了童年和青少年时期接触到的带有性别偏见的工作规范是如何影响这种职业分类的。我们发现,女性在早期生活中受到传统性别角色观念的影响,认为女性的角色是照顾者,这增加了女性从事护理职业的可能性,而降低了男性从事护理职业的可能性,从而加大了护理职业的性别差距。对影响这种排序的因素进行分解后发现,一个主要渠道是通过中学后学习领域或专业选择的差异。我们的研究结果表明,传统的性别角色观念可能会导致男女劳动力市场的分割,并造成性别工资差距。这表明,更平等的性别角色态度会增加男性进入护理行业的比例,从而提高男性和女性的工资,缩小性别工资差距。

Born to care (or not): How gender role attitudes affect occupational sorting

Occupation segregation explains a significant portion of the gender wage gap, with women working in lower paid female-dominated occupations. We examine how childhood and adolescent exposure to gender biased norms about work influence this occupational sorting. We document that early life exposure to traditional gender role attitudes, which view women's role as caretakers, increase women's likelihood of employment in care occupations and decrease the likelihood for men, thereby increasing the gender care occupation gap. A decomposition of the factors affecting this sorting shows that a primary channel is through differences in the choice of post-secondary field of study or major. Our results suggest that traditional gender role attitudes may work to segment the labor market for men and women and contribute to the gender wage gap. This suggests that more egalitarian gender role attitudes which increase the share of men entering care occupations would increase wages for both men and women, lowering the gender wage gap.
