Longitudinal changes in interparental conflict and impacts on children’s socioemotional skills
Interparental conflict is a common issue in families. Guided by the family systems theory, conflict between parents may not only impact their relationship but also influences child’s development. While previous research has established links between interparental conflict and children’s outcomes, fewer studies have examined how changes in conflict over time may affect children’s development. Using three waves of data from a national and longitudi…
Changing trends in daily scheduling patterns of Korean mothers and subjective well-being
Recent increases in institutional childcare utilization among Korean mothers, particularly stay-at-home mothers, have transformed daily scheduling patterns. Analysis of Korean Time Use Survey data from 2009, 2014, and 2019 (N = 2517) examined how mothers with children aged 5 and younger organize their childcare and non-childcare activities during weekdays, tracked changes in these patterns, and investigated their relationship with subjective well…

Inefficiencies and bias in first job placement: The case of professional Asian nationals in the United States
We study whether the quality of the first job is lower for professional Asian nationals than for non-Asian nationals in the USA. With over a million professionals from Asia entering the US labor market in the past decade, a potential under placement may be both inefficient and discriminatory. We collected data on all newly hired assistant professors of management in research-intensive (R1) universities in the USA between 2010 and 2021. We focus o…

Financial Instability in the Earned Income Tax Credit Program: Can Advanced Periodic Payments Ameliorate Systemic Stressors
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) serves more than 26 million U.S. tax filers every year. The EITC is distributed annually at tax time; however, past research suggests that lump-sum disbursements leave households with a lack of funds to deal with financial emergencies throughout the year. Drawing upon the data from a pilot program conducted in 2014–2015 in Chicago, this study analyzes how advanced periodic payments help mitigate financial insta…

At-Home Father Families in the United States: Gender Ideology, Human Capital, and Unemployment
The rising population of stay-at-home fathers is driven by economic conditions, human capital, and changing gender ideology. When unemployment rates increase, women become breadwinners in these families. The growing gender education gap is a crucial factor in spousal work and caregiving arrangements. The authors test these propositions by tracking individuals using data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth and the Current Population Su…
