很少有实证研究致力于雇主赞助的工作-家庭政策对妇女工资的影响。这些政策包括灵活的时间安排、远程办公、减少工作时间和儿童保育援助。尽管这些工作创新可能会让照顾家庭变得更容易，但许多女性担心，工资增长较低和流动性受阻将导致这些政策的使用。该项目跟踪了一组中西部就业妇女在分娩后7年的情况，使用了关于在此期间从事的所有工作的覆盖范围和家庭顺应政策的详细信息。结果表明，在控制了许多与生产率相关的特征后，政策使用对工资增长的负面影响是一致的，尽管影响的大小取决于所使用的特定政策、工人的工作流动性以及受访者的管理或专业地位。
Little empirical study has been devoted to the impact of employer-sponsored work-family policies on women's wages. These policies include flexible scheduling, telecommuting, reduced hours of work, and child care assistance. Although these work innovations may make family caregiving easier, many women fear that lower wage growth and blocked mobility will result front the use of these policies. This project followed a midwestern cohort of employed women for 7 years after childbirth, using detailed information about coverage and use of family responsive policies across all jobs held during that period. Results show consistent negative effects of policy use on wage growth after controlling for many productivity-related characteristics, though the effects vary in size depending on the specific policy used, workers' job mobility, and the respondent's managerial or professional status.
