Earnings Trajectories Around Parenthood
Objective This study examines earnings trajectories of male same‐sex couples around the time they become parents in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden: three forerunners in advancing same‐sex couples' legal rights but with different family policy frameworks. Background Research shows that parenthood increases within‐couple economic inequality for different‐sex couples, but less so for female same‐sex couples. Male same‐sex couples face unique c…
Cash‐for‐Care and the Cost of Parenthood
Objective This study evaluates the reasons behind the gendered use of cash‐for‐care by comparing first‐time parents in female same‐sex couples (SSC), adoptive parents in different‐sex couples (DSC), and biological parents in DSC, alongside its association with parents' reduction in earnings after parenthood. Background Cash‐for‐care is a benefit for parents of children under the age of 3 who do not use publicly financed childcare services. It dis…
Splitting the penalty by taking turns? Same-sex mothers' earnings losses in Norway
ObjectiveThis study describes the childbearing trajectories and earnings of mothers in female same-sex couples (FSSC) in Norway and, through comparisons with mothers in different-sex couples (DSC), explores three factors behind mothers' earnings losses.BackgroundMothers in FSSC experience smaller earnings penalties following parenthood than mothers in DSC. We investigate three potential reasons for this: the number of pregnancies/births the mothe…
Stimulating (In)equality? The Earnings Penalty in Different-Sex and Female Same-Sex Couples Transitioning to Parenthood in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden
The Nordic countries are known as family-friendly welfare states, yet gendered work-care divisions remain. We use a case study approach focusing on the key differences in work-family policy packages in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Using population registers, we compare the earnings trajectories of same- and different-sex couples for the three years before and five years after a first birth. The findings match theoretical arguments linkin…
Joint Utility or Sub-optimal Outcomes? Household Income Development of Same-Sex and Different-Sex Couples Transitioning to Parenthood in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden
Unequal divisions of paid work and care among new parents contribute to increasing inequalities. One explanation for this is joint utility maximization and the benefits of partners (temporarily) specializing in paid work and care. This paper examines the (dis)advantages of specializing compared to dividing tasks more equally by studying whether differences in specialization between same-sex and different-sex couples lead to differences in househo…
Gender Differences in Fields of Study
Absolute ability/achievement does not explain gender differences in educational trajectories, but the role of comparative advantage (i.e., being better in one subject compared to another) has received much less attention. To study this, longitudinal data collected among 1,352 individuals (age 15-16) in upper secondary education in the Netherlands are used. Multinomial path analyses showed that compared to girls, boys are on average 15% more likel…
A Time of Great Change
Parents are crucial in the construction of their children’s attitudes towards the gender division of labor. However, little is known about the extent to which parents’ influences on their children’s attitudes weaken in favor of peers during adolescence. This study explores how gender beliefs of parents, friends, and classmates shape adolescents’ attitudes towards the gender division of labor in Sweden, Germany, England, and the Netherlands. It ex…
Why do gendered divisions of labour persist? Parental leave take-up among adoptive and biological parents
Mothers' longer time out of the labour market due to parental leave has been proposed as one of the main determinants of the gender pay gap. This study focuses on the mechanisms behind the gendered division of care after entering parenthood. By comparing paid parental leave use of biological parents (where mothers gave birth) to adoptive parents (where they did not), we assess to what extend the unequal division of care can be explained by physio…
Same-Sex Couples’ Division of Labor from a Cross-National Perspective
This study concerns how male and female same-sex couples across countries organize their paid and household labor. Using unique data compiled from multiple national surveys in 7 western countries (N = 723), we examined same-sex couples’ paid and household task allocation and evaluate descriptively how this is associated with countries’ gender egalitarianism. For paid labor, results indicate that female same-sex couples spend less time in total on…

Sibling influence in field of study choices
Intergenerational transmission of gender segregation
The study explores how parents’ occupational field affects gender differences in educational fields. On the one hand, the theory of direct transfer predicts that adolescents enter fields similar to those of their parents because of intergenerational transmission of occupation‐specific resources and that adolescents are more likely to draw upon the resources provided by the higher‐status parent. On the other hand, the theory of sex‐role learning p…
