Three Essays on the Effects of Gender and Motherhood on Labor Force Outcomes Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Earnings; Gender Differences; Labor Market Outcomes; Motherhood; Wage Gap; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this dissertation, I explore how gender inequality-generating processes unfold across the life course and how these processes vary across women. In three stand-alone empirical chapters exploring related themes, I pay specific attention to variation in the effects of gender and motherhood by women's educational attainment. I show that gender and motherhood have heterogeneous effects by education and by other demographic characteristics including race, parity, and fertility timing. I also consider how and why labor force outcomes vary by race, fertility timing, and parity within education groups. By highlighting and identifying variation in processes and effects across groups and across the life course, my findings add nuance to the conversation on women's labor market trajectories. |
