Gender gaps in access to professional occupations: The case of university graduates in Europe, 2004–2015
The study employed three-level logistics models using the EU-LFS data of 20 European countries to examine how the gender composition of academic fields of study and the demand for highly skilled workers affect the likelihood of women to be employed in professional occupations. In 2004, the concentration of women in specific fields of study contributed to widening gender inequality. In 2015, studying in a female-dominated field decreased the likel…
Life Satisfaction and Emotional Well-being among Older Adults: Does Working after Retirement Age Matter
Official retirement age is the age when people may start receiving their pension or social security benefits. This study examines motivations for working post-retirement age and its effects on older adults' life satisfaction and emotional well-being. Using Social Survey data collected by Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics for the years 2017-2020, this study selected individuals post retirement age (62 + for women, 67 + for men), and investigat…
The gendered division of paid labour among families of children with disabilities: A comparative approach
Having a child with a disability intensifies work–family conflict due to the additional caregiving demands. Research suggests that this conflict reinforces more traditional patterns of labour division in families of children with disabilities (FOCD), contributing to a well-documented ‘disability penalty’, where mothers’ relative contribution to paid labour is lower in FOCD than in other families. Yet, it remains unclear whether and how the disabi…
When Marriage Ends: Differences in Affluence and Poverty Among Older Adults in Israel
Studies show that the economic benefits of marriage carry over into old age and that widowhood and divorce have detrimental economic consequences, especially for women. This study asks how affluence and poverty are affected by the timing of widowhood and divorce and tests whether they operate in symmetry. The study draws on Israel’s annual Social Survey from multiple years (2013–2017), conducted by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics. The sampl…
Marital Status and Gender Inequality in Household Income Among Older Adults in Israel: Changes Over time
The Role of Monetary and Non-Monetary Job Quality Components in Determining Welfare Exit
Contemporary welfare policies in many Western countries limit means tested public assistance for the long-term unemployed and spur rapid movement into the labor market. Studies on welfare use determinants that traced these policy changes focused on individuals' characteristics, economic condition, and various policy components. Little attention was paid to welfare recipients' job quality or its role in determining welfare exit. The present study …
Are Children a Joy or a Burden? Individual- and Macro-level Characteristics and the Perception of Children
Welfare-use Accumulation and Chronic Dependency in Israel: The Role of Structural Factors
Contemporary welfare policies in many Western countries limit public assistance for the long-term unemployed and spur rapid movement into the labour market. These policies have substantially changed the trade-offs of employment and welfare-use behaviour, making employment far more attractive than welfare dependency. Despite this new reality, many welfare recipients circulate in and out of the welfare system and the low-wage labour market or becom…

Links Between Education and Age at Marriage among Palestinian Women in Israel: Changes Over Time
This study focuses on the link between education and marriage timing among Israeli‐Palestinian women. Theoretical discussions on marriage timing center on the effect of the time women spend in educational institutions on their age at marriage, and on the change in the desirable traits of women in the marriage market. But most of these arguments overlook situations where significant changes in education take place alongside retention of traditiona…

Long-Term Employment and Earnings Patterns of Welfare Recipients: The Role of the Local Labor Market
Many Western countries have introduced welfare reforms that limit public assistance for the long-term unemployed and that spur rapid movement into the labor market. The work-first nature of these new policies means that the success of welfare recipients depends greatly on demand-side constraints, more particularly on local labor market conditions. Based on longitudinal administrative data of all single mothers who received cash benefits when the …

The skill-divide in job quality: A cross-national analysis of 28 countries
Occupational segregation and gender inequality in job quality: A Multi-Level Approach
Gender differences in perceived quality of employment (achievement, content, job insecurity, time autonomy and physical and emotional conditions) are examined. The study asks whether women's occupations provide better conditions in areas that facilitate their dual role in society, as a trade-off for low monetary rewards. Specifically, it examines the association of women's concentration in broader occupational categories, embedded in particular n…

Gender Inequality in Job Authority: A Cross‐National Comparison of 26 Countries
This article argues that cross-national diversity in women's concentration in the public sector explains a substantial part of the cross-national variation in the gender gap in job authority. Using data on individuals in 26 countries represented in the 2005 International Social Survey Program module on Work Orientation (supplemented by societal-level information), this study supports this argument. The authors find that in countries with high lev…
Normative or economic behavior? Fertility and women's employment in Israel
Welfare Regimes, Family-Supportive Policies, and Women's Employment along the Life-Course
This article examines women's employment patterns during thechild‐rearing period and the consequences of those patterns for earnings later in life, in 12 industralized countries. This study proposes an analytic framework that combines “welfare regime” and gender‐specific policies to explain country differences. The findings presented here suggest that institutional arrangements mediate the costs to women's part‐time and intermittent employment. W…

Time to Work: A Comparative Analysis of Preferences for Working Hours
The article examines the preferences for working time among men and women in 22 countries. The main question was whether working hours reflect workers' preferences and tastes or whether they were a constraint imposed by the organization of the labor market and economic considerations. The study is based on the ISSP survey on Work Orientation conducted in 1997 and employs hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) to determine individual- and country-leve…

Work-family conflict in comparative perspective: The role of social policies
Perceived Equity in the Gendered Division of Household Labor
Despite huge imbalances in the division of housework between women and men, previous studies have found perceptions of equity on the part of women to be much more frequent than feelings of injustice. Taking a comparative perspective on the basis of International Social Survey Program (ISSP) 2002 data (N = 8,556), we find that, on the individual level, the explanatory frameworks that have been found to influence the actual inequality of household …
Finding an Adequate Job: Employment and Income of Recent Immigrants to Israel
The study examines the early market experience of recent immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union (FSU) and their mobility patterns a few years after migration. The Labour Utilization Framework, proposed by Clogg and Sullivan (1983), was analysed to identify the employment difficulties immigrants experienced upon arrival, their short‐term mobility in the labour market, and the income consequences of their disadvantaged position in the ma…
Women's Part-Time Employment and Gender Inequality in the Family
This article examines the effects of full- and part-time employment of women on various aspects of a household's arrangements. It argues that only full-time employment represents a significant transformation in women's roles, thus providing the bargaining resources that allow them to affect the household's arrangements. The authors see part-time involvement in market work as a way to maintain, rather than change, the traditional division of labor…
Policy effects on the division of housework
The paper examines the effect of work–family policies on households' division of unpaid work in 25 countries. Considerable variation exists between countries in the amount of time allocated to unpaid work and the extent to which men participate in housework. Our research question is whether and to what extent different institutional arrangements, especially work–family policies, are related to this variation. The study utilizes data from the ISSP…
The Division of Household Labor in Germany and Israel
We compare the patterns of household division of labor in Germany and Israel-two countries that share key elements of the corporatist welfare regime but differ in their gender regimes-and evaluate several hypotheses using data from the 2002 International Social Survey Program. Although time constraints and relative resources affect the division of household labor and women's housework in both societies, we find that in Germany the gender order of…
Family, Work and Women: The Labor Supply of Hispanic Immigrant Wives
The article focuses on the economic circumstances and the family arrangements that govern the labor supply of Hispanic immigrant wives in the United States. We use a two-stage estimation procedure and a specification that models individual and familial factors that influence the labor supply of all women and those unique to immigrants. The analysis, based on a sample of Hispanic immigrant wives obtained from the 1980 U.S. Census, examines immigra…

An Overlapping Persistence Model of Career Mobility
This paper demonstrates that the vast majority of association in a career mobility table can be explained by fitting parameters for five distinct levels of persistence. The model that we propose fits better than competing specifications; it yields a set of easily interpreted coefficients; and it generates new insights into the mobility regime of American males. We find that the contours of persistence differ across the various levels of aggregati…

The Determinants of Women's Employment Dynamics: The Case of Israeli Women
The dynamic of Israeli women's labour market experiences is analysed, with the focus on three main determinants of their attachment to the labour market: (i) family events, particularly the effect and timing of childbirth on women's market involvement, (ii) human capital, and (iii) structural determinants, including occupation, and sector of employment. Utilizing data from the 2001 mobility study in Israel, which is a retrospective longitudinal s…

Does Women's Employment Reduce Poverty? Evidence from Israel
This article focuses on two dimensions of the effect of women's employment on poverty. On the micro level, it examines the effects of women's employment on the odds of their household being poor, and, on the macro level, it examines the effects of women's employment on poverty rates in society. Analysing Israel's 1996 Income Survey, our findings confirm the general argument that women's employment is negatively related to poverty, in both female-…
Short-Term Employment Transitions of Women in the Israeli Labor Force
Using data on Jewish Israeli women aged 25 to 55, the author examines patterns and determinants of women's transitions among four employment categories: regular full-time employment, reduced-hours full-time employment, part-time employment, and non-employment. Israeli women are not trapped in part-time employment. Departures from reduced-hour and part-time employment occur at higher rates than departures from full-time jobs. Women who have just g…
Spouses or babies? Race, poverty and pathways to family formation in urban America
This article analyses the Urban Poverty and Family Life Survey of Chicago and an urban subsample of the National Survey of Families and Households to examine race and ethnic variation in the occurrence and consequences of birth versus marriage pathways to family formation. Results based on multiple-decrement life table analysis and multi-variate life table regression analysis reveal strong race and poverty effects on pathways to family formation,…
Age at marriage, sex-ratios, and ethnic heterogamy
This paper focuses on the effects of age at marriage and the sex-ratio on patterns of ethnic homogamy among Israeli women. We hypothesize that later marriages are more likely than early marriages to be heterogamous as the ‘marriage market’ shifts from school to the work-place. By the same token, when facing severe marriage squeezes women will be forced to out-marry. Employing data from the 1983 census, we model mate selection of women from Afro-A…
