Wage Determination and the New Household Economics

通过将工资结果和职业成就与家庭活动、人力资本和合作伙伴的其他特征联系起来，该项目应有助于为澳大利亚的教育回报、性别工资差距和婚姻工资溢价建立基础。在讨论性别工资差距以及最近的研究和媒体所显示的成为澳大利亚劳动力市场重要特征的玻璃天花板效应时，可能会把重点放在家庭时间分配上，并可能把重点放在儿童保育上。

By linking wage outcomes and occupational attainment to home time activities and the human capital and other characteristics of partners, this project should help establish the basis for the payoffs to schooling, the gender pay gap and the marriage wage premium in Australia. A focus on the household allocation of time, with a possible emphasis on child care, may emerge as an important consideration in discussion of the gender wage gap, and of the glass ceiling effects shown in recent research and in the media to be an important feature of the Australian labour market.
