The Gender Career Interruption Gap: Measuring the Cumulative Prevalence of Labor Force Dropout Due to Caregiving Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Child Care; Gender Differences; Labor Force Participation; Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP); Wage Penalty/Career Penalty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. While a rich literature examines women's work patterns, the gender gap in cumulative prevalence of work interruptions due to caregiving remains unaddressed. Using a synthetic cohort life table approach with data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation and longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I estimate the cumulative prevalence of experiencing a career interruption of six months or more to devote to caregiving of a child. In the SIPP, I find that the average full-time woman is 27 percentage points more likely to experience a work interruption of six months or more than the average full-time man by the 20th year of their career. Among working women, I also find significant racial/ethnic, income, regional, and occupational heterogeneity in prevalence. |
