The Career Cost of Children: A Life Course Perspective of the Gender Gap in Occupational Status Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, North Carolina State University, 2020 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Gender Differences; Life Course; Occupational Status; Parenthood Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Previous research on the disadvantages that mothers experience and advantages that fathers receive in the workforce have centered on financial penalties; I add to such research by focusing on occupational status. When measured over time, occupational status offers insights into the long-term consequences of children on career trajectories. Using panel data drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, I analyze the effects of parenthood on occupational status. Applying a life course perspective on family processes and work patterns, I investigate such associations over the life course and look specifically at women and men across three occupational categories. |
