Wage Inequality and Family Labor Supply
利用1960年人口普查和当前人口调查数据，描述不同丈夫工资水平的已婚夫妇的就业和收入变化，发现低收入男性就业和收入下降最严重，而中高收入男性的妻子就业和收入增长最大，质疑了已婚女性为补偿丈夫收入增长不足而增加劳动供给的观点。
Using the March Current Population Surveys and the 1960 census, this article describes earnings and employment changes for married couples in different types of households stratified by the husband's hourly wage. While declines in male employment and earnings have been greatest for low-wage men, employment and earnings gains have been largest for wives of middle- and high-wage men. These findings cast doubt on the notion that married women have increased their labor supply in the recent decades to compensate for the disappointing earnings growth of their husbands.
