Gender Role Attitudes, Labor Supply, and Human Capital Formation
研究了性别角色态度(对女性参与劳动的看法)与人力资本积累(教育程度和在职培训)的关系,发现传统态度会降低教育水平和培训参与概率,并通过减少劳动参与间接影响人力资本。
This study examines the relationship between attitudes toward women's roles in the labor force and human capital acquisition. I analyze both educational attainment and post schooling training spells. Holding more traditional attitudes about gender roles is associated with both lower educational attainment and lower probability of participating in post schooling training episodes. Also, gender role attitudes appear to have significant indirect effects on human capital acquisition, operating through a lower probability of labor market participation.
