Gender inequality in housework beyond retirement: Persistence across UK breadwinning arrangements
Persistent gender inequality in the intra-couple division of unpaid work has directed attention to life-course events that might challenge it—among them retirement, which alters individuals’ time availability, daily routines, and social roles. Prior research on housework around retirement has largely neglected heterogeneity by breadwinning arrangements, a theoretically salient dimension for assessing the roles of relative economic resources and g…
Housework and psychological distress during the Covid-19 crisis: A gender- and context-sensitive relationship
During the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, many couples experienced major shifts in their division of housework. Previous research suggests these have been consequential for well-being, but less is known about changes in later stages of the pandemic and their consequences for psychological distress, including gender-specific patterns therein. This article addresses three research questions: (1) How are changes in couples’ division of housew…
Beware of names: Validating name-based status and gender cues in Italy, Germany, and the United States
First and last names are frequently used in experimental research to signal group memberships such as gender, ethnicity, or social status. In other cases, names are included to enhance the realism of experiments, under the assumption that they do not convey any attributes beyond those manipulated by the researcher. Regardless of their intended function, the use of names requires careful attention to construct validity. Additionally, names may uni…
Hiring intentions at the intersection of gender, parenthood, and social status. A factorial survey experiment in the UK labour market
Extant literature points to the gender, parenthood, and social status of job applicants as crucial factors influencing employers’ hiring preferences and behaviours. However, little is known about whether and to what extent the intersection of these attributes leads to specific forms of hiring discrimination. This study aims to fill this research gap by examining whether labour market (dis)advantages related to gender, parenthood, and social statu…
Citizenship Acquisition and Labour Market Outcomes Among Immigrants in Italy: Evidence From Linked Survey‐Register Data
The literature shows that immigrants who acquire citizenship tend to achieve better labour market outcomes than those who do not, though this may reflect positive selection rather than a causal effect. This study is the first to examine the consequences of citizenship acquisition for immigrants in Italy, a country with rising naturalisation rates and persistent ethnic penalties. Using nationally representative survey and register data for 2016, w…
To the Fifties and Back Again? A Comparative Analysis of Changes in Breadwinning Arrangements during the First Year of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Four European Countries
Over the past decades, opposite-sex couples have moved away from the traditional ‘male breadwinner model’ towards a more egalitarian division of paid work. However, lockdown measures and the closures of schools and childcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic may have challenged egalitarian divisions of paid work, pushing couples into traditional breadwinning arrangements. This study investigates whether opposite-sex couples experienced short-…
Fairness Evaluations of Higher Education Graduates' Earnings: The Role of Female Preference for Equality and Self-Interest
Educational and occupational horizontal segregation contribute significantly to economic inequalities, especially in contexts with a strong correspondence between fields of study and occupational outputs, such as in Germany. However, the extent to which individuals perceive disparities in economic returns across different fields of study as fair and the factors influencing these fairness evaluations remain largely unexplored. This study aims to u…
The gendered role of occupational characteristics in lifelong singlehood across Italian birth cohorts
While concerns have been raised about declining marriage and fertility rates and increasing union dissolution, less attention has been paid to individuals remaining single. We ask whether individuals with different occupational characteristics experience different chances of remaining single throughout their lives and whether this relationship has changed across birth cohorts for men or women. We focus on Italy, a familistic context where exacerb…
Breaking Barriers or Persisting Traditions? Fertility Histories, Occupational Achievements, and Intergenerational Mobility of Italian Women
Women and men share comparable levels of intergenerational social mobility in all Western economies, except for Southern European countries, where women's life chances appear less determined by their family background. This is puzzling given Southern European's persistent familialism, lack of institutional support for mothers, and the strong influence of social origin. We examine the role of women's social class of origin on occupational achievem…
The Buffer Function of Wealth in Socioemotional Responses to Covid‐19 in Italy
The social stratification of material consequences of individual‐level disruptive events is a widely researched topic. Less is known about the stratification of psychological outcomes in response to contextual‐level disruptive events. We aim to fill this gap by investigating the aftermath of the Covid‐19 pandemic on individuals’ dispositional optimism and the stratification based on unequal wealth resources. The study focuses on Italy, the first …
A 'potential motherhood' penalty? A longitudinal analysis of the wage gap based on potential fertility in Germany and the United Kingdom
While labour market penalties related to motherhood are a widely studied topic, less is known about the implications of signalled potential fertility. We thus posed the question of whether potential fertility-operationalized as the likelihood that a childless woman will transition to motherhood depending on observed sociodemographic characteristics-is associated with a wage penalty and-if so-what the drivers of this wage gap are. We further teste…
Culture portability from origin to destination country: The gender division of domestic work among migrants in Italy
The relative importance of a cultural component in the gender division of unpaid labour is still debated
Gender inequality in domestic chores over ten months of the UK Covid-19 pandemic: Heterogeneous adjustments to partners' changes in working hours
COVID-19 containment measures led to a generalised decrease in working hours. The limited chances of spending time outside the home and the increased needs related to children and housekeeping triggered gender-specific reactions to unpaid labour. Little is
Work less, help out more? The persistence of gender inequality in housework and childcare during UK Covid-19
By leveraging the UK COVID-19 lockdown, this paper examines the impact of changes in paid working hours on gender inequality, specifically time devoted to housework and childcare. We compare potential outcomes of similar couples who only differed in partners’ losing (or maintaining) paid hours during the period from January/February 2020 to April 2020. We draw on wave 9 of the UK Household Longitudinal Study and the first wave of the Understandin…
