Using the 2011–2016 Japan Household Panel Survey, this study examines the intergenerational transmission of married women’s employment in Japan. The study also analyzes two driving mechanisms. The findings suggest that the wife’s labor supply is positively associated with the mother-in-law’s former employment and the mother’s former employment. The preference mechanism reveals the effect of the wife’s employment on her husband’s satisfaction differs between men raised by a working mother and those with an unemployed mother in the past. The endowment mechanism suggests that married man with working wife cooperates to do domestic tasks regardless of his mother’s former employment.

日本已婚妇女就业的代际传递

本研究使用 2011-2016 年日本家庭小组调查，考察了日本已婚女性就业的代际传递。该研究还分析了两种驱动机制。研究结果表明，妻子的劳动力供给与婆婆以前的工作和母亲的以前的工作呈正相关。偏好机制揭示了妻子就业对丈夫满意度的影响在过去由工作母亲抚养的男性和过去母亲失业的男性之间存在差异。禀赋机制表明，有工作妻子的已婚男人合作做家务，而不管他母亲以前的工作。
