The results of previous studies on the effect of childbearing on both parents’ paid and unpaid work suffer from the difficulty related to the specification of latent variables that influence the relationship between reproductive behaviour of the couple and working activity. The aim of this study is to estimate the effect of transition to parenthood on the partners’ division of labour by accounting for latent variables, such as the bargaining process between partners and endogenous fertility decisions. In particular, this is the first time that our specific estimation strategy has been applied to determine the impact of childbearing on the division of household labour between partners taking into account the reverse causality effect between labour and fertility decisions. We use longitudinal data on married or cohabiting Italian couples provided by the Italian panel survey of the Generation and Gender Program. Our results are consistent with previous studies, and show that the birth of a child affects a woman’s unpaid labour strongly and positively and her paid labour negatively, while men’s work is mostly unaffected. Moreover, when partners hold traditional attitudes regarding gender roles and the family, the female partner is even more strongly affected by childbearing in terms of total amount of labour (paid plus unpaid). However, our sensitivity analysis shows that these results appear only when our correction strategy for the misspecification of latent variables is applied.

分娩后意大利夫妻的分工:评估未观察到的异质性的影响

以前关于分娩对父母有偿和无偿工作的影响的研究结果都存在与潜在变量的规范有关的困难,这些变量影响夫妇的生殖行为与工作活动之间的关系。这项研究的目的是通过考虑潜在的变量,例如伴侣之间的讨价还价过程和内生的生育力决定,来评估过渡到父母身份对伴侣分工的影响。特别是,这是我们首次采用我们的特定估算策略来确定生育对伴侣之间家庭劳动分工的影响,同时考虑了劳动与生育力决定之间的反向因果关系。我们使用由意大利世代与性别计划小组调查提供的已婚或同居意大利夫妇的纵向数据。我们的结果与以前的研究一致,表明孩子的出生对妇女的无偿劳动有积极而积极的影响,而对有偿劳动则有不利的影响,而男人的工作大多不受影响。此外,当伴侣对性别角色和家庭持传统态度时,就劳动总人数(有酬加无酬)而言,女性伴侣受生育的影响甚至更大。但是,我们的敏感性分析表明,只有应用我们针对潜在变量的错误指定的校正策略时,这些结果才会出现。并表明,孩子的出生对妇女的无偿劳动产生了积极而积极的影响,而对妇女的有偿劳动则产生了消极的影响,而男子的劳动大多不受影响。此外,当伴侣对性别角色和家庭持传统态度时,就劳动总人数(有酬加无酬)而言,女性伴侣受生育的影响甚至更大。但是,我们的敏感性分析表明,只有应用我们针对潜在变量的错误指定的校正策略时,这些结果才会出现。并表明,孩子的出生对妇女的无偿劳动产生了积极而积极的影响,而对妇女的有偿劳动则产生了消极的影响,而男子的劳动大多不受影响。此外,当伴侣对性别角色和家庭持传统态度时,就劳动总人数(有酬加无酬)而言,女性伴侣受生育的影响甚至更大。但是,我们的敏感性分析表明,只有应用我们针对潜在变量的错误指定的校正策略时,这些结果才会出现。就劳动总量(有酬加无酬)而言,女性伴侣受生育的影响甚至更大。但是,我们的敏感性分析表明,只有应用我们针对潜在变量的错误指定的校正策略时,这些结果才会出现。就劳动总量(有酬加无酬)而言,女性伴侣受生育的影响甚至更大。但是,我们的敏感性分析表明,只有应用我们针对潜在变量的错误指定的校正策略时,这些结果才会出现。
