本研究探讨了福利国家在影响妇女劳动力参与和职业成就方面所发挥的作用。作者利用来自22个工业化国家的数据，研究了国家干预对妇女就业模式和职业成就中的性别不平等的影响。研究结果揭示了一个双重效应：发达的福利国家促进妇女进入劳动力市场，但不是进入强大的和理想的位置。具体而言，以进步和发达的福利政策以及庞大的公共服务部门为特征的国家往往有高水平的女性劳动力参与，沿着，女性高度集中在女性类型的职业中，女性在管理职业中的代表性较低。研究结果提供了深入的社会机制之间的关系福利国家的利益，工作的母亲和妇女的参与和成就在劳动力市场。
This study explores the role played by the welfare state in affecting women’s labor force participation and occupational achievement. Using data from 22 industrialized countries, the authors examine the consequences of state interventions for both women’s employment patterns and gender inequality in occupational attainment. The findings reveal a twofold effect: developed welfare states facilitate women’s access into the labor force but not into powerful and desirable positions. Specifically, nations characterized by progressive and developed welfare policies and by a large public service sector tend to have high levels of female labor force participation, along with a high concentration of women in female‐typed occupations and low female representation in managerial occupations. The findings provide insights into the social mechanisms underlying the relations between welfare states’ benefits to working mothers and women’s participation and achievements in the labor market.
