This paper studies the influence of cultural norms on economic outcomes. We combine detailed information on second-generation female immigrants with historical data from their an- cestral source countries to see how the cultural endowment affects current decisions on work and fertility. We show that results using the standard approach are sensitive to context and specification. We then extend to reveal an education gradient for cultural assimilation: lower-educated women exhibit a strong influence of cultural variables while higher educated women show no in- fluence at all. We gather and present evidence on several potential mechanisms for the education gradient.

文化，教育和性别角色：来自加拿大的证据

本文研究了文化规范对经济成果的影响。我们将有关第二代女性移民的详细信息与来自其祖先祖国的历史数据相结合，以了解文化end赋如何影响当前关于工作和生育的决定。我们表明，使用标准方法的结果对上下文和规范敏感。然后，我们扩展以揭示文化同化的教育梯度：文化程度较低的女性表现出强烈的文化变量影响，而文化程度较高的女性则完全没有影响力。我们收集并提出了有关教育梯度的几种潜在机制的证据。
