代际流动趋势与女性劳动角色的变迁
Intergenerational Mobility Trends and the Changing Role of Female Labor
摘要
Using harmonized administrative data from Scandinavia, we find that intergenerational rank associations in income have increased uniformly across Sweden, Denmark, and Norway for cohorts born between 1951 and 1979. By gender, father-son mobility remains stable, while correlations for mothers and daughters rise. Similar patterns appear in US survey data, albeit with different timing. We show that the decline in income mobility reflects a stronger link between female income and underlying productivity, rather than stronger intergenerational transmission of human capital or changes in assortative mating. Finally, we show that parent-child correlations increase mainly when women gain access to jobs that match their productivity.
中文摘要
利用斯堪的纳维亚地区统一的行政数据，我们发现，对于1951年至1979年间出生的群体，瑞典、丹麦和挪威的收入代际排名关联性均呈现一致增强趋势。按性别划分，父子间的流动性保持稳定，而母亲与女儿间的相关性则上升。美国调查数据中出现了类似模式，尽管时间节点有所不同。我们证明，收入流动性的下降反映了女性收入与其潜在生产力之间更强的联系，而非人力资本代际传递的增强或匹配性婚姻的变化。最后，我们指出，亲子相关性主要是在女性获得与其生产力相匹配的工作机会时增加。
