Abstract | "We document that women are less likely than men to be in "risky" occupations, i.e., those that exhibit large within-occupation wage dispersion. We first demonstrate that a new theoretical channel - the competitive structure of the marriage market - may incentivize both men and women to choose riskier careers with lower wage returns. We then show that a unifying factor - women's relative inability to reap the benefits of a risky career due to their shorter reproductive span and consequent career-family trade-off - can help rationalize a set of gender differences in labor-market and marriage-market outcomes. Using data from the United States, we provide empirical evidence that supports the model predictions." The study refers to the period 1979-2016. (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © 2023 Elsevier).. |
