Intergenerational Income Mobility Among Daughters
在涵盖非劳动女性的框架下,使用比女性自身收入更广泛的经济指标,研究女儿代际收入流动性,并强调丈夫收入的作用,发现代际传递对女儿弱于儿子但仍显著,婚姻匹配是重要机制。
New evidence on daughters' intergenerational mobility in a framework that encompasses women not in the labor force, using broader measures of economic status than just the women's own earnings, is presented, and the role of husbands' earnings is highlighted. A parallel analysis of sons' mobility is performed. Intergenerational transmission of income status may be weaker for daughters than for sons, but is still quite substantial. Assortative mating is an important element in the intergenerational transmission process.
