When are you coming back? Effect of state-subsidized and employer-sponsored childcare on mothers’ return to work
After giving birth, higher-educated mothers return to work faster and stay with their pre-birth employer more often than mothers with less education. To facilitate more equitable return patterns, public policy and organizational scholars point to state-subsidized and employer-sponsored childcare as potential solutions. We ask how these two childcare approaches affect mothers’ education-specific return timing and destination (pre-birth employer or…
Off to a slow start: Which Workplace Policies Can Limit Gender Pay Gaps Across Firm Tenure
Much of the gender pay gap is generated within workplaces, making it paramount to understand which workplace policies effectively address gaps. Our article asks when policies limit gender pay gaps across employee tenure to identify potential temporal weak points. We analyze a representative panel of 10,000 establishments with over 850,000 employees using the 2005-19 waves of German-linked employer-employee data (LIAB). Two key findings emerge. Fi…
Promoting men and women to management: Putting the glass escalator paradox in the establishment context
Research around the "glass escalator" demonstrates that men receive promotions faster than women in women-dominated occupations. However, it remains unclear how overall establishment composition affects the glass escalator. We use German longitudinal linked employer-employee data (LIAB) between 2012 and 2019 to examine how occupational and establishment gender composition shape gender differences in promotions to management. Establishment gender …
Coercion, Consent, and Class Consciousness: How Workers Respond to Amazon's Production Regime
Although the 'logistics revolution' has powerfully transformed contemporary capitalism, little is known about how logistics workers view such changes. To address this gap, the authors explore how Amazon's labor practices shape workers' orientations toward their jobs and class positions. Using a mixture of in-depth interviews and survey data, the authors find that Amazon's production regime has contradictory effects on workers' orientations. Digit…
Spillover Effects of Restrictive Immigration Policy on Latinx Citizens: Raising or Lowering Earnings
This paper investigates the question of whether and how restrictive immigration policies affect the earnings of Latinxs who are not the target of these policies-that is, Latinx citizens. Focusing on policies at the state (E-Verify) and county (287(g)) level, we investigate possible spillover on Latinx citizen earnings from 2006 through 2016. We use multiple sources of data, merging policy and census data with two national probability samples of L…
The Rise of Homeschooling Regulation in the Era of School Choice: Legislative and Judicial Trends, 1972–2009
Over the past four decades, states have increasingly regulated the practice of homeschooling. It is unclear, however, what initial conditions prompt states to regulate and whether states use the legislative or judicial system to do so. Using event history analyses, we identify how state‐level political dynamics, social movement mobilization, and educational policies have shaped the timing of pertinent regulatory efforts by courts and state legisl…
Workplace Gender Pay Gaps: Does Gender Matter Less the Longer Employees Stay
Research indicates men often receive greater merit rewards than women for the same performance. It is unclear, however, whether gender differences in merit rewards narrow with increasing firm tenure or whether gender differences in merit-rewards stay constant across employees' firm-internal career. Using longitudinal personnel records of a private U.S. employer (2005-2014), the author finds no evidence for declining gender effects on pay when emp…
Race Relations, Black Elites, and Immigration Politics: Conflict, Commonalities, and Context
This paper investigates the question of whether and how race and race relations affect state legislators’ support for restrictive immigration policy. Focusing on the nine new immigration destinations in the US Southeast, we compare the roll call votes cast by African American and White Democratic state legislators on 196 restrictive immigration measures proposed between 2005 and 2012. Overall, the majority of Black Democratic legislators support …
Getting on the Radar Screen: Homeschooling Litigation as Agenda Setting, 1972–2007
Since the legalization of homeschooling in 1972, litigation by homeschooling adversaries has shaped the legal frameworks regulating its practice. Adjudicating between complementary theoretical claims, we examine whether homeschooling litigation trends—specifically the ability of either side to set the agenda by getting on court dockets—reflect concerns over contentious educational practices and policies or broader cultural and political dynamics.…
Stay or Leave? Race, Education, and Changing Returns to the External Labor Market Strategy, 1976–2009
Since the 1970s, firm-internal opportunities for advancement have waned, and more employees have switched employers to build their career. The author compares the effect of staying and leaving one’s employer and how each career avenue reproduces or alleviates race-based earnings inequality. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics 1976–2009, the author finds that racial differences among women are unaffected by external mobility. Among men, the e…
Stay or Leave? Externalization of Job Mobility and the Effect on the U.S. Gender Earnings Gap, 1979-2009
As jobs in the United States become less secure and traditional job ladders deteriorate, employees increasingly change employers to build their career. This article explores how this shift affects gender earnings disparities. I find that the effect of changing employers depends on whether changes occur in “good” or “bad” jobs and whether individuals leave voluntarily or involuntarily. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics 1979-2009, gender dis…
