“…Akerlof and Kranton (2000) have modelled such costs as "identity-utility"-loss. The studies of Bittman et al (2003), Haberkern (2007) and Beblo and Robledo (2008) cited earlier provide empirical support for this notion: the desire to comply with gender-specific social norms in heterosexual households may indeed have effects on how males and females divide household work. Women who violate the ruling social norms by contributing a larger share to the household's income than their male partner must "pay" a penalty for their violation by also (re-) increasing their share in housework.…”

“…Indeed, the gap in time spent on household-related activities appears to be influenced by the share women contribute to overall household income: For example, Beblo and Robledo (2008) show a woman's relative bargaining power to increase the more she specializes in labor market production. Bittman et al (2003) and Haberkern (2007), using time-use data from Australia and Germany, respectively, show that women are able to reduce their workload in the household when increasing the share they contribute to the monetary income of the household, until these contributions are equal. But strikingly, when women contribute even more, their household-related workload increases again.…”

In this paper, I experimentally investigate couples' specialization decisions and examine the gender-specific patterns in labor division arising within heterosexual couples. Eighty participants-20 real couples and 20 pairs of strangers-play a two-stage game, paired up either with their partner or a stranger of the opposite sex. In the first stage, participants make a joint decision on how to play the game: They can both complete a performancebased paid task (task A) or have one of the players perform an unpaid task (task B), thereby tripling the pay-rate for the partner playing task A. After completing their tasks, participants are informed about their pay-offs in private and then asked to make an individual decision about what proportion of their income to pay into a common pool, where it is increased by 20% and distributed equally between the two players. I find that women are significantly more likely to give up their income autonomy and perform the unpaid task when playing with their partner rather than with an unfamiliar man. Men's behavior is not affected by familiarity with their female partner.

“…When the wife earns more, her share of housework goes up again. Haberkern (2007) showed that wives react stronger to a violation of traditional gender roles than husbands in Germany. Wives who become the primary breadwinner do more housework in order to emphasize their identity as a homemaker.…”

Gender Identity and Women's Supply of Labor and Non-Market Work: Panel Data Evidence for Germany

This paper aims to verify results of the innovative study on gender identity for the USA by Bertrand et al. (2015) for Germany. They found that women who would earn more than their husbands distort their labor market outcome in order not to violate traditional gender identity norms. Using data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study (SOEP) we also find that the distribution of the share of income earned by the wife exhibits a sharp drop to the right of the half, where the wife's income exceeds the husband's income. The results of the fixed effects regression confirm that gender identity has an impact on the labor supply of full time working women, but only in Western Germany. We also show that gender identity affects the supply of housework but in contrast to the US where women increase their contribution to non-market work when they actually have a higher income than their husbands, we find for Germany that women only barely reduce their weekly hours of non-market work once their income exceeds that of their husbands.

Das Ansehen von Hausfrauen in Deutschland – Eine quantitativ-empirische Analyse differenzieller Wahrnehmungen

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ZusammenfassungDie Erwerbstätigenquote von Frauen ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten international wie auch in Deutschland merklich angestiegen, wohingegen das klassische Male Breadwinner Model zunehmend erodiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat die Studie zum Ziel, das gesellschaftliche Ansehen der zahlenmäßig geringer werdenden Gruppe von Hausfrauen, deren Haupttätigkeit in der Haus- und Familienarbeit liegt, mit aktuellen Befragungsdaten zu untersuchen. Die Analysen gehen zum einen der Frage nach, wie hoch das Ansehen generell von der Bevölkerung in Deutschland eingestuft wird und zum anderen, ob sich die Wahrnehmungen anhand von ausgewählten soziodemografischen Merkmalen systematisch unterscheiden. Die empirischen Befunde zeigen, dass das Ansehen von Hausfrauen in Deutschland im Allgemeinen höher eingeschätzt wird als das von Arbeitslosen sowie von Helfertätigkeiten, aber auch geringer als das Ansehen von beruflichen Tätigkeiten auf Fachkräfteniveau. Darüber hinaus variieren die Beurteilungen zum Hausfrauenprestige signifikant danach, welcher sozialen Gruppe (Geburtskohorte, Ausbildungsniveau, Erwerbsbeteiligung, Geschlecht) die Befragten angehören. Weiterführende Analysen von Interaktionseffekten verdeutlichen ferner ein differenziertes Zusammenspiel der Variable Geschlecht mit anderen Gruppenmerkmalen. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer ausführlichen Diskussion der Ergebnisse sowie einem Ausblick auf zukünftige Forschung.
