“…In terms of wages, as reported in Hotchkiss and Rios Avila (2014), while unadjusted real wages grew slightly during the 2000s, that "growth" disappears and actually begins to decline after about 2002 when accounting for changes in age and education. In contrast, the generally positive labor market factors of the 1990s brought about real wage increases.…”

Abstract: The female/male average wage ratio has steadily risen from 1983 to 2012. In earlier work, we found that the falling wage gap from 1983 to 1993 was materially detrimental to the average dual-earner family. The female/male wage ratio continued to rise over the following two decades, accompanied by a growing share of households in which the wife is the principal household income generator. This paper investigates how these two developments affected family welfare. Although family welfare rose during the 1990s, the story of the 2000s is quite different.
