Description

This session explores the reproduction of inequality at the intersection of work and family in the United States and Europe. Scholars pay special attention to how culture and policy shape the labor force experiences of mothers and fathers. Drawing on a variety of methods (survey experiments, in-depth interviews, and cross-national survey data), panelists shed new light on occupational segregation, income inequality, health behaviors, job loss, and family responsibilities discrimination.
