摘要

有孩子的女性的时薪往往低于没有孩子的女性,这种差距被称为“孩子惩罚”。虽然许多研究为这一经验事实提供了证据,并探讨了关于其原因的几种假设,但除了工资之外,母性对工作方面的影响几乎没有调查过。为了评估女性在第一次分娩前后的工作变化,我使用了德国社会经济小组的数据,并应用了事件研究分析。结果显示,女性成为母亲后,不仅小时工资(-19%)发生了显著变化,其他非金钱工作特征也发生了显著变化,如工作时间(-15小时)、夜班(-6%)、夜间工作(-8%)、压力(-10%)、身体要求(4%)、危险(-3%)和工作地点距离(-1公里)。为了评估母亲可能用工资代替非工资福利的假设,我额外估计了享乐工资回归。结果表明,母亲们用金钱换取了非金钱的工作特征,因此,对孩子的惩罚部分(8.2%)可能被解释为一种补偿性的工资差异。

The Child Penalty - What about Job Amenities?
Women with children tend to earn lower hourly wages than women without children - a shortfall known as the ‘child penalty’. While many studies provide evidence for this empirical fact and explore several hypotheses about its causes, the impact of motherhood on job dimensions other than wages has scarcely been investigated. In order to assess changes in women’s jobs around the time of first childbirth, I use data from the German Socio-Economic Panel and apply an event study analysis. The results show not only a significant change in women's hourly wages (-19%) once becoming mothers, but also in other non-pecuniary job characteristics, such as working hours (-15 hours), night work (-6%), work in the evening hours (-8%), stress (-10%), physical requirements (4%), hazards (-3%) and distance to the workplace (-1km). In order to assess the hypothesis that mothers might substitute wages for non-wage benefits, I additionally estimate a hedonic wage regression. The results suggest that mothers trade pecuniary for non-pecuniary job characteristics and hence, that part of the child penalty (8.2%) might be interpreted as a compensating wage differential.
