研究出生顺序和童年家庭规模对未来成就的影响,发现两者对工资无显著影响,但家庭规模显著影响女性就业模式:小家庭女性年轻时工作更少,年长后工作更多。

Abstract

The influence of birth order and childhood family size on future achievement is discussed. Two major empirical findings are presented by the author. "First, neither birth order nor childhood family size significantly influences the level or growth rate of wages, a result that is consistent with previous research. Second, family size is both a statistically and economically significant determinant of women's employment status: women from small families work less than women from large families when they are young and more than women from large families when they are more mature." The geographical focus is on the United States.
