Nonprofit Sector and Part-Time Work: An Analysis of Employer-Employee Matched Data on Child Care Workers
利用雇主-雇员匹配数据，分析儿童保育行业中非营利与营利部门、全职与兼职工作的工资和补偿差异，发现兼职工作质量较高且非营利部门存在工资溢价。
This paper uses a rich employer-employee matched data set to investigate the existence and the extent of nonprofit and part-time wage and compensation differentials in child care. The empirical strategy adjusts for workers' self-selection into the for-profit or the nonprofit sector and into full-time or part-time work, as well as for unobserved worker heterogeneity, using a discrete factor model. We find differences between the regimes (full-time for-profit, full-time nonprofit, part-time for-profit, part-time nonprofit) in the manner in which human capital characteristics of the workers are rewarded. There is substantial variation in wages as a function of employee characteristics, and there is variation in wages within sectors. The results indicate that part-time jobs are good jobs in center-based child care, and there exist nonprofit wage and compensation premia, which support the property-rights hypothesis. © 2003 President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
