Gender Differences in Pensions
利用1982年新受益人调查和1979、1988年当前人口调查数据,分析退休人员和在职员工养老金覆盖率的性别差异,发现劳动力市场特征差异是主因,婚姻和子女对退休女性有负面影响,但对在职女性影响减弱,且1980年代性别差距缩小。
The causes of gender differences in pensions are examined for retirees and employees using the 1982 Newly Entitled Beneficiary Survey, and the 1979 and 1988 May Current Population Surveys. For both retirees and the employed population, much of the gender gap in coverage is accounted for by gender differences in labor market characteristics. While children and marriage have a negative effect on female coverage among retirees even after controlling for labor market characteristics, the negative effect is not observed among more recent groups of female employees. Finally, recent convergence of male and female labor market characteristics contributed to a decline in the coverage gap during the 1980s.
