Occupational Characteristics and Women's Employment During the Transition to Parenthood Presented: Denver CO, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Job Characteristics; Maternal Employment; Motherhood; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupations; Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Men's and women's divergent employment responses to parenthood have important implications for gender inequality in the labor market. Although scholars theorize that managing the competing demands of work and family should be more difficult in some occupations than in others, we know little about how occupational work demands and resources either facilitate or constrain new mothers' employment. We assess how pre-birth occupational characteristics are associated with women's post-birth employment outcomes using individual-level data from nationally representative panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, merged with data on occupational characteristics from the NLSY97 and O*NET. We find that women working in pre-birth occupations with high autonomy and high advanced schedule notice have significantly higher odds of working full-time following a first birth than women in occupations with low autonomy and low advanced notice. This project highlights the role of occupational structure in shaping individual women's employment decisions. |
