Doctoral Dissertation Research: Gender, Parenthood, Employment, and Health

博士论文研究：性别、父母身份、就业和健康PI：Dalton Conley，Co-Pi：Rebecca Glauber这篇论文探索了为人父母对女性和男性幸福的影响--他们的就业结果以及他们整个生命过程中的社会经济和健康状况结果。通过探索家庭层面和个人层面的幸福衡量标准，这篇论文的研究将揭示男性和女性在一生中对家庭和工作的权衡，以及这些权衡如何在经济和健康福祉方面造成不平等。这项研究还将探索随着时间的推移，为人父母对女性和男性幸福感的影响的时期效应和变化。最后，这项研究将探索为人父母对女性和男性幸福的影响在不同国家的政治和经济背景下的差异。除了性别差异外，还将始终关注为人父母的后果，因为这些后果因其他归因于和实现的地位而异，包括婚姻和离婚地位、种族和社会阶层。研究结果将基于描述性纵向分析、固定效应回归模型和横截面工具变量模型。数据来自5%综合公共使用微数据系列(IPUMS)、全国青年纵向调查(NLSY79)和全国成熟女性纵向调查(NLSY成熟女性)。这项研究将推动社会学家、经济学家和人口学家之间的方法和理论辩论，包括但不限于后工业时代的家庭和就业趋势，如何量化因果关系，以及家庭层面和个人层面的经济福祉的持久性。调查结果还将为围绕妇女和儿童经济福祉权衡的一些家庭政策辩论提供参考。

Doctoral Dissertation Research:Gender, Parenthood, Employment, and HealthPI: Dalton Conley, Co-PI: Rebecca GlauberThis dissertation explores the consequences of parenthood to women and men's well-being-their employment outcomes and their socioeconomic and health status outcomes across the life course. By exploring both family-level and individual-level measures of well-being, this dissertation research will shed light on the family and work tradeoffs that men and women make across the course of their lives and how these tradeoffs produce inequities in economic and health well-being. This research will also explore period effects and changes in the consequences of parenthood to women's and men's well-being over time. Finally, this research will explore variation in the consequences of parenthood to women's and men's well-being across sub-national political and economic contexts. In addition to gender differences, attention will be paid throughout to consequences of parenthood as they vary by other ascribed and achieved statuses including marital and divorce statuses, race, and social class. Research findings will be based on descriptive longitudinal analyses, fixed effects regression models, and cross-sectional instrumental variable models. Data comes from the five percent Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS), the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), and the National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women (NLSY Mature Women). This research will advance methodological and theoretical debates between sociologists, economists, and demographers, including but not limited to, post-industrial family and employment trends, how to quantify causal relationships, and the permanency of household-level versus individual-level economic well-being. Findings will also inform a number of family policy debates surrounding the tradeoffs between women and children's economic well-being.
