Family-friendly Benefits and Full-time Working Mothers' Labor Force Persistence Community, Work and Family 21,2 (March 2018): 168-192. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13668803.2018.1428173 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Benefits, Fringe; First Birth; Labor Force Participation; Maternal Employment Family-friendly benefits are intended to help mothers balance rather than juggle work and family. Prior research assumes that family-friendly benefits have a similar effect on mothers' persistence in full-time work across parity. However, there is evidence that the transitions to first-time and second-time motherhood are qualitatively, as well as quantitatively, different experiences. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), we investigate women's labor force status (full-time, part-time, and not working) after both parity transitions among women who were working in the labor force full-time prior to the birth of their first child. We find that mothers often persist in the same labor force status after the birth of their second child that they held after the birth of their first child, but there is wide variability in labor force and parity pathways. In addition, a wider array of family-friendly benefits is associated with second-time mothers' full-time work than first-time mothers. |

Caregiving, Health Status and Total Family Net Worth Among Men and Women Approaching Retirement Age Community, Work and Family published online (28 March 2022): DOI: 10.1080/13668803.2022.2055997.

Background and Objectives: Building on opportunity cost theory and an understanding of how gender impacts household labor decisions, this study examines how family net worth may be impacted by three variables (having a work-limiting health condition, caregiving inside the home, caregiving outside of the home) while controlling for demographic and employment-related variables for married and unmarried male and female caregivers. Research Design and Methods: This study uses a nationally representative sample of 5,173 older adults ages 51-60 from the 2016 round of 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79). Results: Findings from the weighted sample suggest having a limiting health condition is significantly and negatively related to total family net worth: people with a work limiting health condition experience a $55,000-$180,000 decline in total family net worth. Further, caregiving inside the home had a significant negative relationship with total family net worth for two subgroups: married males and unmarried females. Providing care to someone outside the home was significantly and positively related to total family net worth only for unmarried males. |

Time-intensive Occupations and the Motherhood Gap in Authority Community, Work and Family published online (24 March 2023): DOI: 10.1080/13668803.2023.2187272. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13668803.2023.2187272 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Carfax Publishing Company ==> Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Motherhood; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupations, Female; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Mothers experience diminished opportunities for advancement in the workplace, but it is unclear how particular occupational conditions help or hinder their attainment of occupational authority. In the current study, I analyze data from a panel survey of contemporary U.S. workers to examine the link between motherhood, women's power and authority, and their underrepresentation in time-intensive occupations. Analyzing data from the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Information Network and 15 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, I find that even when mothers remain employed full-time, they are less likely than childless women to work in occupations that require a lot of time. Occupational time intensity explains about forty percent of the motherhood gap in occupational authority. If childless women and mothers were equally likely to work in time-intensive occupations, almost half of the motherhood gap in occupational authority would disappear. In contrast, there are fewer differences between mothers and childless women in the likelihood of working in highly stressful, competitive occupations or those requiring a lot of work effort or persistence. |

The Impact of Parental Working Conditions on School-Age Children: The Case of Evening Work Community, Work & Family 4,3 (December 2001): 305-325. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01405110120089369 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Carfax Publishing Company ==> Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Child Development; Child Health; Home Environment; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Poverty; Work Hours/Schedule; Working Conditions Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data collected in the US in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth was used to examine the effect of parental evening work on the home environment for 1,133 school children (aged 5-10 yrs). The Home Observation Measurement of the Environment (HOME) score was used to predict the child's school, developmental, and health outcomes. Results show that at least one parent working in the evening had a significantly negative effect on the home environment both for families living in poverty and those who were not living in poverty. The effect size, an 11% decrease in HOME scores when mothers worked evenings and an 8% decrease in HOME scores when fathers worked evenings, was the same order of magnitude as living in poverty.

Retirement Savings among U.S. Older Adult Male Workers by Paid Sick Leave, Flexible Work, and Vacation Benefit Status Community, Work and Family published online (21 October 2019): DOI: 10.1080/13668803.2019.1677557. Also: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13668803.2019.1677557 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Carfax Publishing Company ==> Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Benefits, Fringe; Male Sample; Retirement/Retirement Planning; Savings; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using a nationally representative sample from the 2012 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this study evaluates the retirement savings of 994 older male US workers (ages 47-55) by their access to flextime, paid sick leave and vacation time. After controlling for 12 demographic, education, household, and work-related variables, when measured dichotomously, multiple regression findings indicated workers with flexible work time enjoyed a 24.8% increase in retirement savings compared to those who did not have flexible work time, and workers with paid sick leave had retirement savings 29.6% higher than those workers who lacked paid sick leave benefits. Further, when paid sick leave and vacation time were measured ordinally, workers with six to 10 paid sick leave days and workers with more than 10 paid sick days annually had a statistically significantly higher (30.1% and 40.7%, respectively) amount in their retirement savings. Statistically significant decreases in retirement savings were observed for workers with 1-5 vacation days annually. These robust findings suggest the provision of flextime and paid sick leave benefits may affect retirement savings among older adult male workers. Implications for policy are set forth. |
