Women in the Labor Market and in the Family
指出女性在劳动力市场的工资相对男性持续上升且未来可能加速,但与此同时,贫困女性化加剧,反映了美国家庭不稳定性的增加。
There are two themes in this paper. First, we argue that the conventional wisdom of an absence of any substantial labor market progress for women is mistaken. Instead, throughout this century, women's wages have been steadily rising relative to those of men, a progress likely to accelerate in the next few decades. Second, we contend that this labor market progress is not enough. Alongside their labor market advances, the relative economic plight of many women is worsening. The downside news is the increasing feminization of poverty, a reflection of the growing instability of the American family.
