- 요약In recent years, a considerable amount of research has focused on how workplace practices and policies can help family caregivers manage work-family conflict. These work-family resources have numerous benefits ranging from increased happiness, improved family relationships, and lowered job turnover. Work-family resources are especially important to women because they devote more time to caregiving tasks, on average, compared to men and face greater penalties for having children, as mothers face lower wages, fewer promotions, and higher job turnover.Because women have so much to gain from work-family resources, it is often assumed that this is reflected by the types of jobs they hold, but this is not supported in prior research. Women are found to disproportionately hold jobs that lack family-friendly qualities, including access to work-family resources. The incongruity between the benefits of work-family resources to women and women's access to such resources is the focus of my dissertation: What explains women's concentration in occupations with low access to work-family resources? My proposed research addresses this question using a series of studies that examine macro-level factors associated with access to work-family resources and micro-level processes addressing how women and men understand and consider resources when evaluating jobs. Across three empirical chapters, I address: (1) What occupational factors explain the low prevalence of work-family resources in female-dominated occupations? (2) How does the availability of work-family resources shape job appeal among women and men relative to salary? (3) Are female-dominated occupations perceived as being more family-friendly relative to male-dominated occupations? (4) Are other aspects of family friendliness, work-family culture and work-hour norms, more important to women's employment decisions? In answering these questions, I fill critical gaps in our understanding of persisting labor market segregation and gender inequality.
