摘要

本文运用累积优势的权力资源理论和生命历程理论,考察了工会职业生涯的财富回报。通过对美国婴儿潮一代工作生活的纵向数据和对中年财富的综合衡量,我发现加入工会的职业的平均财富回报相当可观,市场财富超过13万美元。如果将固定收益养老金(37.8万美元)和社会保障福利(36.1万美元)算在净资产中,加入工会的职业生涯的平均回报甚至更高。更高的累计终身收入,更强的工作保障,以及更容易获得雇主提供的福利,部分解释了加入工会的职业生涯的财富回报。加入工会的职业所获得的财富回报主要集中在男性、没有大学学历的工人以及那些在工会更强大的环境中工作的人身上。结果支持劳动力市场制度通过促进财富积累来加强工人财务安全的论点。

The wealth returns to a unionized career
Drawing on power resources theory and life course theories of cumulative advantage, this article examines the wealth returns to a unionized career. Using longitudinal data on the working lives of US Baby Boomers and comprehensive measures of wealth at midlife, I find that the average wealth returns to unionized careers are substantial, exceeding $130,000 for marketable wealth. The average returns to a unionized career are even larger when defined benefit pension ($378,000) and Social Security benefits ($361,000) are included in net worth. Higher cumulative lifetime earnings, enhanced job security, and greater access to employer-provided benefits partially account for the wealth returns to unionized careers. The wealth returns to unionized careers are concentrated among men, workers without a college degree, and those who worked in contexts where unions were more powerful. Results support arguments that labor market institutions bolster workers’ financial security by facilitating wealth accumulation.
