本文使用来自世界价值调查的数据（1990，1995，1999）来研究性别角色态度和工作价值对25个经合组织国家妇女劳动市场成果的影响。发现反对主义的观点表现出与女性就业率和性别薪酬差距最强烈的负相关。但是，这些观点在最近的人群中正在软化。另一方面，随着时间的流逝，对妇女作为家庭主妇的作用可能是在青年中形成的，与宗教意识形态有关，这会随着时间的流逝而持久。它们可能与最近的性别融合放缓有关。最后，家庭价值观与平等主义观点之间不可避免的冲突，这对许多女性来说是内在冲突的形式 - 所谓的“母亲的内gui” - 这是在劳动力市场上走向更大性别平等的道路上的另一个障碍。
This paper uses data from the World Value Surveys (1990, 1995,1999) to investigate the impact of gender role attitudes and work values on women's labour-market outcomes across 25 OECD countries. Anti-egalitarian views are found to display the strongest negative association with female employment rates and the gender pay gap. These views are, however, softening among recent cohorts. On the other hand, perceptions of women's role as homemakers, which are likely formed in youth and linked to religious ideology, are more persistent over time. They could be implicated in the recent slowdown of the gender convergence in pay. Finally, the unavoidable clash between family values and egalitarian views, that takes the form of an inner conflict for many women-the so-called 'mother's guilt'-is another obstacle in the path towards greater gender equality in the labour market.
