“…In recent years, labour force participation is more and more investigated as a dynamic process rather than a static event at a specific point in time (Cabello-Hutt, 2020;García-Manglano, 2015;Lu et al, 2017;Virtanen et al, 2011;Weisshaar & Cabello-Hutt, 2020). With the increasing role of women on the labour market, especially the work trajectories of women and mothers, have caught the attention of researchers (Cabello-Hutt, 2020;García-Manglano, 2015;Killewald & Zhuo, 2019;Lu et al, 2017;Weisshaar & Cabello-Hutt, 2020), as mothers and married women in particular tend to have discontinuous and dynamic careers including various employment statuses and transitions after family formation (Drobnič et al, 1999;Y. Kim, 2015;Stier & Yaish, 2008;Yu, 2002Yu, , 2005.…”

We use sequence analysis on data from the Korean Labor & Income Panel Study (1998Study ( -2019 to investigate trajectories of women's labour market participation in the eight years after first childbirth. We pay special attention to the type of employment through which mothers participate in the labour market, distinguishing between regular full-time employment, non-regular employment, self-employment, and non-employment. After creating employment sequences, we use cluster analysis to reveal patterns of employment trajectories and average marginal effects derived from multinomial logistic regression to identify women's characteristics on the distinct trajectories. We find that women of younger cohorts are less likely to solely focus on family and childcare in the years after childbirth. However, their chances of steady work in regular jobs did not increase. Instead, they are more likely to be on unsteady pathways, combining childcare with regular or non-regular jobs. Our results suggest that increases in females' employment might be partly attributed to mothers' higher probability to obtain precarious non-regular work.

“…the implementation of an early childhood protection system that massively expanded childcare services (Chile Crece Contigo, 2006), and the extension of the maternity paid leave from 3 to 6 months, as well as the possibility of sharing six weeks with the father. However, these policies have not been paired with changes in the Chilean traditional gendered work culture that does not tolerate non-standard working arrangements such as part-time employment, discouraging the long-term attachment of female careers (Cabello-Hutt 2020;Madero-Cabib et al 2019b). During the 21st century, Chile has not experienced major economic crises, maintaining a steady economic growth and reducing its poverty rate.…”

Between Social Protests and a Global Pandemic: Working Transitions under the Economic Effects of COVID-19

Emerging research on the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic draws attention to the labor effects of the crisis in the Global South. Developing countries show high levels of labor informality, where most workers cannot work from home and depend on daily income. In addition, the scarce and late state aid makes it difficult for workers to cope with the economic hardships caused by the pandemic. This research explores the employment trajectories of workers throughout the ongoing pandemic in Chile: a neoliberal country with a strong male breadwinner culture and high levels of income inequality. Using longitudinal non-probabilistic data for Chilean employment, this study finds that men lost their jobs to a lesser extent and returned to the labor market faster than women. Likewise, male workers with family (with a partner and young children) remained employed in a higher proportion than female workers with family, and most of these women shifted from employment into care work. The existing literature already pointed out how economic crises can have adverse effects on progress towards gender equality, and the current economic crisis seems to be no exception. Labor informality and low-skilled jobs were highly related to unemployment during the first months of COVID in Chile. These are important variables in a developing economy such as Chile, where around one-third of the population works under these conditions. This article concludes by reflecting on the importance of addressing the present crisis and future economic recovery with a gender perspective.

“…Other studies calculate transition rates between two states to implicitly calculate substitution costs as an implied formula from within the data (see Aisenbrey and Fasang 2017;Gabadinho et al 2009;Macindoe and Abbott 2004). As in previous studies (see Aisenbrey and Fasang 2017;Cabello-Hutt 2020), in this paper we use OMA with optimal distances computed with a substitution cost of 2 and an indel cost of 1.…”

“…The field of occupation was grouped into six categories, namely, manufacture, agriculture, or machinery; operator or elementary occupations; services; technical professionals or clerical support; managerial or professional; and not occupied. These variables are commonly used as controls in relation to outcomes in the labor market in Chile (see, for instance, Contreras and Plaza 2010;Cabello-Hutt 2020).…”

Patterns and Persistence of Educational Mismatch: A Trajectory Approach Using Chilean Panel Data

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The misalignment between workers’ educational levels and the educational level typically required for their occupations, namely educational mismatch, has become widespread. However, despite its potential costs, there is little evidence of this situation in developing countries. Using longitudinal and retrospective data of employment histories between 2009 and 2019, this paper conducts sequence analysis to construct a typology of educational mismatch trajectories among Chilean workers. We demonstrate that mismatch is a prevalent and persistent phenomenon. Once people enter the labor market, either as undereducated or overeducated workers, they tend to stay in such positions for extended periods of time. Moreover, we find significant wage penalties for workers in a mismatch situation. Results indicate that females and young, less-educated men are more prone to follow trajectories with longer periods of mismatch or unemployment. New avenues for research and the need for public policies looking at these phenomena are required to avoid people’s dissatisfaction due to a possible false promise that more education can improve their life standards.
