Paradox Lost: The Disappearing Female Job Satisfaction Premium
研究发现，过去二十年中女性工作满意度优势已消失，这源于年轻女性随年龄增长满意度下降，以及新入职女性满意度低于90年代初的同龄人，且并非工作特征变化所致，而是女性对工作特征的评价日益负面。
Abstract Using the original data source of Clark, we show that over the last two decades the female satisfaction gap he documented has vanished. This reflects a strong secular decline in female job satisfaction. This decline happened both because younger women became less satisfied as they aged, and because new female workers entered with lower job satisfaction than their early 1990s peers. Decompositions make clear that the decline does not reflect changing job characteristics for women but rather their increasingly less favourable evaluation of job characteristics. These findings fit with the suggestion that women in the early 1990s had a gap between their labour market expectations and actual experience that has since closed and that the gender satisfaction gap has vanished as a consequence.
