项目摘要

The determination of internal migrations and the impact they have on job-related achievement is to date still unequal between German men and women, especially between husbands and wives who move as a couple. Despite far-reaching social and political developments toward the equalization of socio-economic opportunities across men and women, family moves of dual income households still favour the careers of husbands while they can hold back the one of wives. Although academic interest on the topic raises influential and contested theoretical explanations, the mixed evidence of the associated empirical literature does not fully explain this form of gender inequality. A promising and still underdeveloped line of research to solve this puzzle arises from the extensive and pervasive structural separation of men and women in different lines of paid work or occupations. Neither pre-migration employment nor wage levels of spouses rule out sex differences, but some incipient literature indicates that partners’ occupational characteristics and occupational trajectories can be more informative of the persisting gender inequalities in family migration processes ceteris paribus. This research proposal aims to begin filling this gap by examining the structural effects of occupations as well as occupational choices and trajectories of men and women. It aims to understand sex differences in migration propensities to move for individual career advancement, spousal roles or motives in the event of migration (i.e. lead- and tied-migrant) and job-related outcomes among dual income families. Together with an integrative conceptual framework of structural, life course and behavioural perspectives, I will offer novel and sound empirical evidence applying state-of-the-art longitudinal methods of quantitative analysis to existing complementary longitudinal data sources to mostly analyse patterns in contemporary Germany. Substantive and methodological advances to improve on traditional research by featuring (i) unveiling the interdependence between spouses in family migration decisions with dyadic data, (ii) solving sources of self-selection by applying selection models and exploring family migration decisions in a context of alternative choices (i.e. union dissolution and recurrent mobility), (iii) examining the long term effects of initial and repeated family migration events on occupational trajectories and their interdependencies with other reasons for occupational career interruptions (i.e. childbirth) and (iv) cross-country comparison between Germany, Australia and Britain to unveil institutional specificities behind the occupational structure, the welfare state and the gender relations. The results of this project will make important contributions to debates on the processes that lead to gender inequalities of family migration and will inform policy makers about the extension of the effects of a gendered occupational structure in household decisions.

到目前为止，德国男性和女性之间在决定内部移民及其对与工作相关的成就方面的影响仍然不平等，特别是在作为夫妇一起搬家的丈夫和妻子之间。尽管在实现男女社会经济机会均等方面取得了深远的社会和政治发展，但双收入家庭的家庭迁移仍然有利于丈夫的事业，而会阻碍妻子的事业。尽管学术界对这一主题的兴趣提出了有影响力和有争议的理论解释，但相关经验文献的混合证据并不能完全解释这种形式的性别不平等。解决这一难题的一个有希望但仍不发达的研究领域是，男女在不同的有偿工作或职业领域广泛和普遍的结构性隔离。移徙前的就业和配偶的工资水平都不排除性别差异，但一些早期文献表明，配偶的职业特征和职业轨迹可以更好地说明家庭移徙过程中长期存在的性别不平等。这项研究提案旨在通过审查职业的结构性影响以及男女的职业选择和轨迹来开始填补这一空白。它旨在了解双重收入家庭在移民倾向、配偶角色或移民动机(即主要移民和捆绑移民)以及与工作相关的结果方面的性别差异。结合结构、生命过程和行为视角的综合概念框架，我将提供新颖和可靠的经验证据，将最先进的纵向定量分析方法应用于现有的补充纵向数据来源，以主要分析当代德国的模式。在传统研究的基础上取得实质性和方法性的进展，内容包括：(I)用二元数据揭示配偶之间在家庭移徙决策中的相互依存关系，(Ii)通过应用选择模型解决自我选择的来源，并在替代选择(即工会解体和经常性流动)的背景下探索家庭移徙决策，(Iii)考察初次和反复家庭移徙事件对职业轨迹的长期影响及其与职业生涯中断(如生育)其他原因的相互依存关系，以及(Iv)德国、澳大利亚和英国之间的跨国比较，以揭示职业结构、福利国家和性别关系背后的制度特殊性。该项目的成果将对关于导致家庭移徙性别不平等的进程的辩论作出重要贡献，并将使政策制定者了解按性别划分的职业结构在家庭决策中扩大的影响。
