本文研究了个人网络对男性和女性成为父母的职业率变化的影响。它讨论并衡量网络结构和组成的各种相互关联的维度的影响，例如密度、合作伙伴网络之间的重叠程度、网络成员之间的地理距离以及关系类型（家庭、友谊或其他）。对瑞士235对即将成为父母的夫妇进行的一组纵向分析表明，对于女性来说，在第一个孩子出生后，情感支持的密度较高会导致职业率的下降，而对于男性来说，实际支持的密度较高会导致职业率的上升，从而加剧有酬劳动分工中的性别不平等。结果对于预期的变化和在转型过程中观察到的变化都有效，并且在控制父母的教育水平、收入和关于性别平等的个人价值观时，它们也成立。
This article investigates the influence of personal networks on changes of occupational rates of men and women becoming parents. It discusses and measures the effects of various interconnected dimensions of network structures and compositions, such as density, degree of overlap between partners’ networks, geographical distance between network members, and types of relations (family, friendship, or others). A set of longitudinal analyses on 235 couples becoming parents in Switzerland shows that for women, higher density in emotional support triggers a reduction in occupational rates once the first child is born, while for men, a higher density in practical support is associated with an increase of occupational rates, with a resulting increase of gender inequalities in the division of paid labour. Results are valid both for intended changes and for changes observed in the transition, and they hold when controlling for parents’ educational level, income and personal values about gender equality.
