本文认为，总体而言，提供家庭友好型做法对企业来说成本高昂，但对工人来说却很有价值。因此，我们预计会出现一种享乐均衡，在这种均衡中，接受这种做法的工人将面临收入的隐性减少。使用 WERS98 关联的雇主-雇员数据，我们发现工人夸大了他们获得家庭友好型做法的机会。我们还发现补偿性工资差异惊人地高，约为 20%。然而，这一结果很大程度上取决于旨在消除收入效应典型估计的治疗模型。它还在很大程度上与灵活工作时间表的指标相关，并且不能复制到工作场所托儿所支持或在家工作。
This paper posits that the provision of family friendly practices is, on balance, costly to firms and valuable to workers. As a consequence, we anticipate the emergence of a hedonic equilibrium in which workers provided with such practices face an implicit reduction in their earnings. Using WERS98 linked employer-employee data, we find that workers overstate their access to family friendly practices. We also find a surprisingly high compensating wage differential of around 20%. However, this result depends critically on a treatment model designed to purge typical estimates of the income effect. It is also largely associated with indicators of flexible working schedules and cannot be replicated for workplace nursery support or working at home.
