Do occupations confer equal prestige on female and male incumbents?
While common measures of occupational prestige target shared beliefs about occupations at the aggregate level, little is known about whether these apply equally across potentially different incumbents of the same occupation. We address this gap by asking whether occupations confer the same prestige to female and male incumbents. Therein, occupational prestige provides an empirical lens on the evaluation of gendered labor market positions, allowin…
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and perceived intergenerational mobility in Czechia and Uruguay. An unexpected event during survey design study
Can large-scale geopolitical shocks causally reshape how individuals perceive their intergenerational mobility? War unsettles everyday life through security fears, policy uncertainty, inflation, and energy shocks—factors that can recalibrate the benchmarks people use when comparing their lives to their parents’. We address this question by examining the immediate impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on mobility perceptions using a quasi-experim…
Anti-Immigrant Bias in the Choice Between Punitive and Rehabilitative Justice
We study bias in judicial authorities’ efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate immigrant offenders into society. Our empirical strategy leverages a distinctive feature of the German criminal code: the optional application of rehabilitative juvenile criminal law or punitive general criminal law for eighteen- to twenty-year-old offenders, based on a subjective assessment of offenders’ psychological ‘maturity’ by judges. Drawing on complete records …
Tailored to Women, Provided to Men? Gendered Occupational Inequality in Access to Flexible Working-Time Arrangements
Numerous policy-makers and social scientists promote flexible working as a means to reconcile work and family life, often explicitly targeting women. Accordingly, one might expect that flexible working-time arrangements are more prevalent in occupations with a high share of female employees. Yet, previous evidence indicates the opposite. To address this puzzle, we investigate the occupational opportunity structures for flexible working. A devalua…
Intersections and Commonalities
We investigate intersecting wage gaps by gender and nativity by comparing the wages between immigrant women, immigrant men, native women, and native men based on Western German survey data. Adding to the analytical diversity of the field, we do a full comparison of group wages to emphasize the relationality of privilege and disadvantage, and we use a nonparametric matching decomposition that is well suited to address unique group-specific experie…
Gender compositions of occupations and firms jointly shape switches from gender-atypical towards more gender-typical positions
Research on sex segregation in the labor market has repeatedly found that women and men are more likely to exit from occupations and firms in which they are the numerical minority and subsequently seek positions that are more represented by their gender. However, this research looked at mobility either across occupations or across firms, leaving unclear how the simultaneous exposure to gender compositions of occupations and firms shapes attrition…
Comparing the Incomparable? Issues of Lacking Common Support, Functional-Form Misspecification, and Insufficient Sample Size in Decompositions
Decompositions make it possible to investigate whether gaps between groups in certain outcomes would remain if groups had comparable characteristics. In practice, however, such a counterfactual comparability is difficult to establish in the presence of lacking common support, functional-form misspecification, and insufficient sample size. In this article, the authors show how decompositions can be undermined by these three interrelated issues by …
Gender-Atypical Learning Experiences of Men Reduce Occupational Sex Segregation
Occupational sex segregation persists in part because men seldom enter female-dominated occupations. Whereas programs providing women with gender-atypical learning experiences aim to increase female representation in male-dominated domains, similar programs for men-despite their potential to counteract the prevailing lack of men in female-dominated occupations-are rare. In this paper, I investigate whether men's gender-atypical learning experienc…
Marriage, the Risk of Overeducation, and Selection into Both
Two competing theories of social support and role specialization have been invoked to explain how marital status affects labour market outcomes. Whereas evidence of beneficial labour market outcomes among married men and employed married women favours a social support perspective, evidence of married women's reduced labour market participation corresponds to a role specialization perspective. We make two contributions to this literature. First, w…
Can Regional Gender Ideologies Account for Variation of Gender Pay Gaps? The Case of Germany
While research often invokes gender disparities in wage-determining characteristics to explain gender pay gaps, why these gender disparities and gender pay gaps vary across contexts has received less attention. Therefore, I analyze how subnational gender ideologies predict gender pay gaps in two ways: as directly affecting gender pay gaps and as indirectly predicting gender pay gaps through intermediate gender disparities in determinants of wage.…
