摘要

摘要：已婚女性的收入通常低于男性。随着时间的推移，夫妻之间的性别收入差距有所下降，但我们缺乏关于下降背后的驱动因素的信息。在这里，我们使用Microcensus数据分析了1978年至2011年，教育和劳动力市场参与度的提高以及社会政策的变化对西德夫妇性别收入差距缩小的作用。我们表明，妇女更多地参与劳动力市场和增加转移收入是缩小差距的主要来源。这两种趋势都与家庭政策密切相关。我们还阐明了男性在总体趋势中的作用。他们增加的全职保险费和受教育程度是重要的反趋势，超过了男性失业率和非全日制就业水平增加在缩小差距方面的作用。

Long-Term Trends in the Gender Income Gap within Couples: West Germany, 1978–2011

Abstract:Coupled women typically have lower earnings than their male partners. This gender income gap within couples has declined over time, but we lack information about the drivers behind the decline. Here, we analyze the role of increased participation in education and the labor market, as well as changes in social policies, on the decline of the gender income gap within couples in West Germany from 1978 to 2011, using Microcensus data. We show that women's increased labor market participation and their increased transfer incomes are the major sources of the reduction in the gap. Both trends are strongly connected to family policies. We also shed light on the role of men in the overall trend. Their increased full-time premiums and educational attainment are important counter-trends that outweigh the role of increased unemployment and part-time employment levels among men in reducing the gap.

期刊介绍： Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
