这项研究调查了伴侣的职业资源对劳动力市场参与度和工作水平的影响程度。关于这一主题的理论预测了相反的对立面效应：经济理论预期由于财务激励而产生负向关系，而从社会资本的角度可以预期到正向关系。为了恰当地检验这些对立的机制，(A)将劳动力市场产出分解为劳动力市场参与度和就业水平，(B)引入历史视角。荷兰统计局自1977年以来进行的大规模劳动力调查表明，伴侣的职业资源对工作时间有负面影响，对工作水平有积极影响。在出生队列中，对工作时间的负面影响对男性更强，对女性更弱，而对工作水平的积极影响对男性和女性都有所减少。
This study investigates to what extent a partner’s career resources affect labour market par ticipation and job level. Theories on this topic predict opposing par tner effects: economic theory expects a negative relationship due to financial incentives, whereas a positive relationship can be expected from a social capital point of view. In order to test these opposing mechanisms properly, (a) labour market outcomes are decomposed into labour market participation and job level, and (b) a historical perspective is introduced. Large scale labour force surveys conducted by Statistics Netherlands from 1977 onwards show that a partner’s career resources have a negative influence on working hours and a positive influence on job level. Over birth cohorts, the negative effect on working hours has become stronger for males and weaker for females, whereas the positive effect on job level has decreased for both men and women.
