DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to study the relationship between two key components of contemporary family life: the allocation of family work and women's labor force participation. Drawing on a life course perspective, the study will comprehensively examine the reciprocal causal relationships between the gender division of unpaid household labor and women's labor market experiences among the same individuals over time. Researchers are increasingly aware of the interdependence of family life and labor markets. However, we know surprisingly little about the long-term consequences of the allocation of family work between women and men for women's labor force participation. We know even less about the way employment experiences influence the division of household labor over the life course. The lack of knowledge about the long-term connections between family work and employment is notable because empirical studies have demonstrated that the division of household labor and women's employment are each related to a range of health indicators including marital quality, mental health, and children's well-being. The proposed research plan focuses on identifying the determinants of the division of family work and women's employment experiences over long periods of time. The first goal of the proposed analysis is to examine the influence of multiple dimensions of employment on the division of family work at multiple points in time, as well as the predictors of change in the allocation of family work. These analyses will identify not only the immediate effects of employment on housework behaviors, but also the influence of employment early in marriage and accumulated work experience. The second goal of the research is to examine the influence of the division of family work on multiple measures of women's labor force participation over time. Focusing on employment status, hours, and histories, the study will identify the pathways through which household labor patterns early in a marriage influence women's labor force participation and their accumulation of human capital throughout the life course. The empirical analyses will rely on the Intergenerational Panel Study of Parents and Children, a data set spanning 31-years that includes key measures of family work, employment, and wide array of control variables.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一个应用程序，以研究当代家庭生活的两个关键组成部分之间的关系：家庭工作的分配和妇女的劳动力参与。 本研究从生命历程的角度出发，全面考察无报酬家务劳动的性别分工与女性在劳动力市场的经历之间的因果关系。 研究人员越来越意识到家庭生活和劳动力市场的相互依赖性。 然而，令人惊讶的是，我们对女性和男性之间分配家庭工作对女性劳动力参与的长期影响知之甚少。 我们对就业经历如何影响一生中的家庭劳动分工知之甚少。 对家务劳动与就业之间的长期关系缺乏认识是值得注意的，因为实证研究表明，家务劳动分工和妇女就业都与婚姻质量、心理健康和子女幸福等一系列健康指标有关。 拟议的研究计划侧重于查明家庭工作分工的决定因素和妇女长期就业的经历。 拟议分析的第一个目标是研究就业的多个方面对多个时间点的家庭工作分工的影响，以及家庭工作分配变化的预测因素。 这些分析不仅将确定就业对家务行为的直接影响，而且还将确定婚姻早期就业和积累工作经验的影响。 研究的第二个目标是审查家庭工作分工对妇女劳动力参与的多项措施的长期影响。 这项研究将重点放在就业状况、工作时间和历史上，通过这些途径，婚姻早期的家庭劳动模式会影响妇女的劳动力参与和她们在整个生命过程中的人力资本积累。 实证分析将依赖于父母和子女代际小组研究，这是一个跨越31年的数据集，包括家庭工作，就业和广泛的控制变量的关键措施。
