Screening for Commitment: The Effect of Maternity Leave Use on Wages Working Paper, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, September 2008 Also: http://www.economics.uiuc.edu/docs/seminars/Screening-for-Commitment-The-Effect-of-Maternity-Leave-Use-on-Wages.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Minnesota Keyword(s): Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); Human Capital; Leave, Family or Maternity/Paternity; Wage Growth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper examines whether firms use participation in work-family policies to screen for a worker's level of job commitment, an unobservable characteristic that affects productivity. We identify two conditions that differentiate screening from human capital explanations, and test whether the wage penalty associated with usage varies with these conditions. Specifically, we propose that the wage growth penalty from policy usage will increase with monitoring costs and with the quality of the screening technology if firms screen based on usage. We test and provide support for these propositions using the NLSY 1979, with paid maternity leave as the work-family policy of interest. We proxy for monitoring costs using a measure of job autonomy and capture a change in the screen's quality with passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). |

What Do Unions Do for Mothers? Paid Maternity Leave Use and the Multifaceted Roles of Labor Unions Working Paper, Social Science Research Network (SSRN), June 6, 2017. Also: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2981956 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Social Science Electronic Publishing, Inc. Keyword(s): Leave, Family or Maternity/Paternity; Maternal Employment; Unions; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The authors present a four-fold conceptual framework of union roles for enhancing workers' paid maternity leave use, consisting of availability, awareness, affordability, and assurance. Using a panel data set constructed from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, workers represented by unions are found to be at least 16 percent more likely to use paid maternity leave than comparable non-union workers. Additional results suggest that availability, awareness, and affordability contribute to this differential leave-taking. The authors also document a post-leave wage growth penalty for paid leave-takers, but do not find a significant union-nonunion difference. |

What Do Unions Do for Mothers? Paid Maternity Leave Use and the Multifaceted Roles of Labor Unions ILR Review 72,3 (May 2019): 662-692. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0019793918820032 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Industrial and Labor Relations Review, Cornell University Keyword(s): Leave, Family or Maternity/Paternity; Maternal Employment; Unions; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty The authors present a four-fold conceptual framework of union roles--with a focus on availability, awareness, affordability, and assurance--for enhancing workers' paid maternity leave use. Using a panel data set of working women up to age 31 constructed from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, the authors find union-represented workers to be at least 17% more likely to use paid maternity leave than are comparable non-union workers. Additional results suggest that availability, awareness, and affordability contribute to this differential leave-taking. The authors also document a post-leave wage growth penalty for paid leave-takers, but do not find a significant union–non-union difference. |
