The Cohorts of Revolution and Stagnation: U.S. Women and the Changing Paradigm of Women's Labor Market Participation Presented: Chicago IL, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, April 2017 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97, Young Women Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Gender Attitudes/Roles; Gender Differences; Labor Force Participation; Labor Market Demographics; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper will explore gender differences in labour market trajectories that are still present even in one of the pioneer countries of the gender revolution. I shall map out gender convergence in labour market attachment, beginning with the pioneering cohorts born in 1940s. Using comparable data of three National Longitudinal Surveys permits me to identify the gender gap for each cohort by tracing their education and work trajectories. This serves to map out path dependencies in the labour market which either hasten or stall full gender convergence in labour market and income trajectories. I will estimate the extent of gender convergence since 1970, focusing on the interplay between labour market trajectories and demographic events, such as partnership formation and dissolution, and childbearing. |
