A Multivariate Approach to the Gender Wage Gap Presented: Denver, CO, Population Association of America Meetings, April 1992. Also: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog/101056965 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Children; Gender Differences; Marital Status; Marriage; Wage Differentials; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study tests various theories about the gender wage gap. Hypotheses cover a broad spectrum of individual and structural constraints on earnings attainment: human capital investment, fertility/marital timing and structure, occupational environment, and the social construction of skill. Utilizing a sample of salaried workers (age 23-29) extracted from the NLSY (N=5171), analyses were conducted on female and male populations and their subgroups of (1) the never- married childless, (2) single parents and (3) married parents. The results show that marriage, age of youngest child, age at first birth, and years married all significantly influence the gender wage gap. The other conceptual groups of variables were found to differentially impact earnings across gender and their marital/fertility disaggregates. |

The Effects of Gender Segregation, Labor Force Participation, and Family Roles on the Earnings of Young Adult Workers Work and Occupations 22,1 (February 1995): 48-72. Also: http://wox.sagepub.com/content/22/1/48.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Discrimination; Earnings; Employment; Family Influences; Family Studies; Gender Differences; Labor Force Participation; Life Course; Male Sample; Occupational Choice; Occupational Segregation; Regions; Work Experience Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Assesses the effects of family role accumulation, earnings atrophy and occupational choice, occupational segregation, and statistical discrimination in relation to gender inequality in earnings among young adults. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979-1987, provide considerable support for the hypothesis that the effects of current labor force attachment, work experience, and occupational segregation are conditioned by family roles. The negative effects of women's representation within occupations are confined to married parents, although the results for women are consistent with social closure explanations, whereas the results for men are more consistent with status composition explanations of the effects of gender segregation. Analysis also reveals interesting differences in the effects of current and prior labor force attachment that are conditioned by gender and life-course group. The results point to the need for more research that studies the relations hip between labor force activity, occupational segregation, and family roles. 4 Tables, 1 Appendix, 52 References.
