The Motherhood Wage Penalty: Which Mothers Pay It and Why? American Economic Review 92,2 (May 2002): 354-359. Also: http://www.aeaweb.org/articles.php?doi=10.1257/000282802320191606 Cohort(s): Young Women Publisher: American Economic Association Keyword(s): College Graduates; High School Completion/Graduates; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Motherhood; Racial Differences; Wage Differentials; Wage Gap; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty; Wages, Women Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The authors study the motherhood wage penalty using the 1968-1988 National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience of Young Women (NLSYW). This data allows them to investigate both cross-sectional samples (with ordinary least-squares [OLS] models) and panel samples (with fixed-effects models to control for heterogeneity). The authors conclude that the least skilled do not suffer lower wages for becoming mothers; high-skilled workers should face high costs for exiting; and women who are high-school graduates and black college graduates appear to occupy a middle position. |
