Family Migration and the Employment of Married Women and Men
重新检验人力资本假说,发现控制迁移自选择偏差后,家庭迁移使已婚女性就业概率提高9%,但对已婚男性无影响,表明需重新思考家庭迁移行为。
"This research reconsiders the human capital hypothesis that married women have a lower probability of employment after family migration. The empirical analysis focuses on a sample of married parents in the economically active population residing in the midwestern United States in 1980. Our analysis establishes that, after controlling for the effects of migration self-selection bias, family migration increases the probability of employment among married women by 9 percent but has no effect on the probability of employment among married men. This research demonstrates the limitations of the human capital model of family migration and indicates the need for reconceptualizing family migration behavior."
