摘要

摘要本研究批判性地重新审视了以往关于工作时间对生活满意度影响的研究结果。首先，我们复制了最初的结果，即传统的分工最大限度地提高了父亲和母亲的幸福感。放松参数限制，避免因分娩而混淆，并在第二步中将东西方差异考虑在内，我们发现（1）父亲在每周工作35至60小时时最满意；（2）母亲在每周工作至少25小时时比不工作时对自己的生活更满意，（3）父母分工安排不同，生活满意度水平相近。因此，与最初研究的建议相反，我们的复制表明，男性养家糊口的模式并不是最大限度地提高父母幸福感的唯一途径。

Do Mothers and Fathers in Germany Really Prefer a Traditional Division of Labor? The Impact of Working Hours on Life Satisfaction Reconsidered

Abstract This study critically reexamines previous results on the effects of working hours on life satisfaction. First, we replicate the original results which suggest that a traditional division of labor maximizes fathers’ and mothers’ well-being. Loosening parametric restrictions, avoiding confounding by childbirth, and taking East-West differences into account in a second step, we find that (1) fathers are most satisfied when working between 35 and 60 hours per week, (2) mothers are more satisfied with their life when working at least ~25 hours per week as compared to not working, and (3) different arrangement of labor division among mothers and fathers lead to similar levels of life satisfaction. Thus, in contrast to what has been suggested by the original study, our replication reveals that the male breadwinner model is not the sole way to maximize parents’ well-being.
