研究了女性劳动参与率上升是否导致父亲向女儿的职业传承增强,利用1909-1977年出生队列数据发现,这一效应解释了女性进入父亲职业概率总增长的13%-20%。

Abstract

We examine whether women’s rising labor force participation led to increased intergenerational transmission of occupation from fathers to daughters. We develop a model where fathers invest in human capital that is specific to their own occupations. Our model generates an empirical test where we compare the trends in the probabilities that women work in their father’s versus their father-in-law’s occupation. Using data from birth cohorts born between 1909 and 1977, our results indicate that the estimated difference in these trends accounts for at least 13–20 percent of the total increase in the probability that a woman enters her father’s occupation.
