Young Women's Job Mobility: The Influence of Motherhood Status and Education Journal of Marriage and Family 76,4 (August 2014): 693-709. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jomf.12122/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Blackwell Publishing, Inc. => Wiley Online Keyword(s): Childbearing; Educational Attainment; Maternal Employment; Motherhood; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty; Wages Previous research has found that women who become mothers in their 20s face larger wage penalties compared to women who delay childbearing until their 30s. Explanations for this have focused on the consequences of employment breaks early in one's career and reduced opportunities in the workplace following the birth of a child. In this article, the author uses panel data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (N = 4,566) to examine another possible explanation: differences in patterns of and wage returns to job mobility. She found that young mothers, relative to childless women, make fewer wage-enhancing voluntary job separations and often receive lower wage returns for these separations. Educational attainment exacerbates these patterns, largely to the disadvantage of women with less education. |
