Gender- and Class-Specific Job Preferences: Survey Experiments in Different Household Contexts

有初步的经验证据表明，持续存在的性别不平等至少在一定程度上是由于工作机会的工作条件和体制框架与个人喜好不相匹配；从夫妇和家庭的角度来看，情况尤其如此。到目前为止，很少有人对这些不平等进行理论建模和实证研究。利用创新的实验数据集，拟议项目的总体目标是分析制度和组织框架如何确定接受工作机会的性别和特定阶层的意愿，以及偏好和让步意愿的差异如何与夫妇和家庭的劳动分工有关。性别不平等如何与可能的不匹配相交？弹性工作时间或托儿设施的可获得性和地区分布对特定性别和特定阶层的劳动力供应有何影响？家庭内部的标准和收入星座是如何变得相关的？如果取消制度和组织上的限制，在实现工作偏好时允许更多的选择自由，会不会有更多或更少的不平等？在实证分析方面，将使用因素调查模块，申请者已成功地将其应用于社会经济小组的创新样本(SOEP-IS)。这一模块能够对接受工作机会的意愿进行多层面的衡量，考虑到第一次兼顾工作和家庭责任的多种理论上的动机条件。

There is preliminary empirical evidence that persisting gender inequalities are at least partly rooted in a missing fit of job offers' working conditions and institutional frames to individual preferences; and that this is particularly true from a couple and family perspective. So far these inequalities were only rarely theoretically modeled and empirically researched. Using an innovative experimental data set the general aim of the proposed project is to analyze how institutional and organizational frameworks frame gender and class specific willingness to accept job offers, and how differences in preferences and willingness to make concessions relate to the division of labor in couples and families. How do gender inequalities intersect with a possible mismatch? What is the impact of flexible working hours or availability and regional distribution of child care facilities on gender and class specific labor supply? Ho do norms and earnings constellations within households become relevant? Would there be more or less inequality if institutional and organizational restrictions were removed, allowing more freedom of choice when realizing job preferences? For the empirical analysis, a factorial survey module will be used which the applicants have successfully implemented into the Innovation Sample of the Socio Economic Panel (SOEP-IS). This module enables a multidimensional measurement of the willingness to accept job offers considering multiple, theoretically motivated conditions for reconciling work and family responsibilities for the first time.
