Commuting, gender and children
研究发现有子女的女性在长距离通勤时更可能离职,而男性则不然。通过动态搜索模型分析,表明女性生育后通勤成本显著上升,每增加12公里通勤距离相当于其工资的20%。
We demonstrate that women with children are much more likely to leave their job when they have a long commute, which is not true for men. Interpreting these results through the lens of a dynamic search model, we demonstrate that commuting costs increase substantially for women after they have children. For women with children, a 12 kilometer increase in commuting distance induces costs equivalent to about 20% of their wage.
