摘要

宠物是许多人生活的重要组成部分，并提供精神，身体和情感上的好处。然而，养宠物的成本却很少受到关注。我们使用2018年综合社会调查的数据来调查宠物所有权与工资收入之间的关系。我们假设养宠物可能通过降低劳动力流动性对收入产生负面影响，并通过获得有价值的社会心理属性对收入产生积极影响。我们分析了养宠物与教育、养宠物与住房使用权、养宠物与种族之间的相互作用，以进一步研究潜在的劳动力流动渠道。总的来说，我们发现养宠物会降低工资收入，而且在流动性效应可能更高的群体中，这些负面影响更大。

The labour market trade-offs of pet ownership

Pets are an important part of many peoples’ lives, and provide mental, physical and emotional benefits. However, the costs of pet ownership have received little attention. We investigate the association between pet ownership and wage income using data from the 2018 General Social Survey. We hypothesise that pet ownership may negatively influence income by lowering labour mobility and positively influence income by garnering valuable psychosocial attributes. We analyse interactions between pet ownership and education, pet ownership and housing tenure, and pet ownership and race to further investigate the potential labour mobility channel. Overall, we find that pet ownership decreases wage income and that these negative effects are larger for groups where mobility effects are likely higher.
