Título: | Domestic supply, job-specialization and sex-differences in pay |
Autor: | Polavieja, Javier CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2009 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Social Indicators Research 93(3): 587-605 (2009) | Resumen: | This article proposes an explanation of sex-differences in job-allocation and pay in different institutional contexts. Job-allocation calculations are considered to be related to (1) the distribution of housework and (2) the skill-specialization requirements of jobs. In a context of uncertainty and imperfect information, housework and job-specialization requirements generate a particular incentive structure for each sex. This incentive structure can, however, be altered by governmental action. Welfare policies and services are expected to affect allocation decisions at the micro-level both by reducing the risks of skill-depreciation for women as well as by increasing their intra-household bargaining power. Both effects combined should reduce the economic pay-offs of 'raditional' sphere-specialization by sex. This model is tested using a sub-sample of married and cohabiting employees drawn for the second round of the European Social Survey. Results based on nested random-intercept regressions show that sex-differences in job-specialization and housework can explain the wage effects of occupational sex-composition and have a significant direct impact on hourly earnings. Welfare-regime interactions also suggest that the association between housework and earnings is much weaker in societies displaying high levels of defamilialization and decommodification. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/57621 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11205-008-9430-5 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1007/s11205-008-9430-5 issn: 0303-8300 e-issn: 1573-0921 |
