Cultural Inputs and Accumulating Inequality in Children's Reading: A Dynamic Approach European Sociological Review published online (26 November 2021): DOI: 10.1093/esr/jcab056. Also: https://academic.oup.com/esr/advance-article/doi/10.1093/esr/jcab056/6444190 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Oxford University Press Keyword(s): Childhood; Cognitive Ability; Parental Influences; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Socioeconomic Background Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous research shows that children from socioeconomically advantaged families read more than children from less advantaged homes. This article studies how inequality in the amount that children read accumulates across childhood and the extent to which this inequality depends on the cultural inputs parents provide. Additionally, the article studies whether children's or parents' cognitive ability moderates the effect of cultural inputs. Based on a Dynamic Panel Data Model and data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979-Children and Young Adults Supplement, I find that the amount that children read depends on both the cultural inputs they currently receive, but also on those inputs received in previous years (which shaped how much they read in previous years). This cross-time accumulation, coupled with a socioeconomic gradient in the levels of cultural inputs parents provide, leads to growing inequality in children's reading. I do not find that cultural inputs are more effective in encouraging children with higher ability or children of mothers with higher ability to read more. |

Labour Mobility and Employment Stability: Rhetoric and Reality on the Sex Differential in Labour-Market Behaviour European Sociological Review 12,1 (May 1996): 1-31. Also: http://esr.oxfordjournals.org/content/12/1/1.abstract Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLSY79, Young Women Publisher: Oxford University Press Keyword(s): Employment, Part-Time; Gender Differences; Housework/Housewives; Job Tenure; Labor Force Participation; Labor Market Surveys; Labor Turnover; Mobility; Mobility, Labor Market; Mobility, Occupational; Sexual Division of Labor; Unions; Work Histories Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. National survey data for GB & other industrial societies are drawn on to evaluate claims that sex differentials in labor mobility & employment stability have disappeared with rising female (F) labor-force participation. Results for GB show a continuing sex differential of 50% in the standard measures of labor turnover & job tenure; these are typical of the European Community & other industrial societies. Further, such sex differentials are dramatically increased when the focus changes to movement in & out of the labor force instead of attachment to a particular employer: Fs are 2-4 times more likely than men to enter & exit the workforce in a given period. Work histories display even more fundamental sex differences, & show that discontinuous employment has been replacing continuous employment & the homemaker career among Fs. The methodological implications for the analyses of cross-sectional & longitudinal data, & the substantive & theoretical implications for understanding F employment, are addressed. It is concluded that qualitative divisions within the F workforce can no longer be ignored, as they impact on occupational grade, earnings, & life chances, & can distort cross-national comparisons. 15 Tables, 2 Figures, 128 References.
