好女儿？
The Good Daughter?
摘要
We study the impact of Federal alcohol Prohibition in 1919 on workers in the alcohol industry and their families, using newly linked census records following spouses, sons, and daughters 1910-1940. Through 1930, affected men were less likely to work and worked in lower-skilled jobs when employed. By 1940, they were more likely to be employed, suggesting delayed retirement. Daughters of these workers were more likely to stay home, delay marriage, and work, even 20 years later. Sons were unaffected short-run. Those with sisters completed more schooling and earned more by 1940, suggesting daughters, not sons, served as the family’s safety net.
中文摘要
我们研究1919年联邦禁酒令对酒业工人及其家庭的影响，利用新近关联的1910—1940年人口普查记录，追踪配偶、儿子和女儿。到1930年，受影响的男性就业可能性更低，且就业时从事技能要求更低的工作。到1940年，他们更可能就业，表明退休延迟。这些工人的女儿更可能留在家中、推迟结婚并工作，甚至20年后依然如此。儿子在短期内未受影响。有姐妹的男性到1940年完成了更多学业并赚得更多，表明是女儿而非儿子充当了家庭的安全网。
