已婚夫妇中妻子比丈夫挣得多的比例是多少？此外，这种模式会持续多久？本研究系统地检查了不同收入、夫妻类型定义和数据来源的时间点估计的变化，并使用2000年当前人口调查和1996-2000年收入和计划参与调查的数据衡量了这些模式在三个日历年期间的持久性。调查结果显示，在19%至30%的已婚夫妇中，妻子的收入高于丈夫。在60%这样的夫妇中，这种安排持续了三年；对其他人来说，这种安排是暂时的。
In what percentage of married couples do wives outearn their husbands, and, moreover, how persistent are these patterns? This study systematically examined variation in point-in-time estimates across alternative measures of earnings, definitions of types of couples, and data sources and gauged the persistence of these patterns for a period of three calendar years using data from the 2000 Current Population Survey and the 1996–2000 Survey of Income and Program Participation. Among the findings are that in 19% to 30% of all married couples, wives have higher earnings than their husbands. In 60% of such couples, this arrangement persists over the three-year period; for the rest, this arrangement is transitory.
