中老年女性劳动供给及代际转移在子女间的差异

Labor Supply of Near-elderly Women and Child Difference in Intergenerational Transfers

本文运用美国健康与退休研究数据和多种计量方法研究代际财富转移、时间转移与中老年女性劳动力供给之间的关系,以及代际转移在子女间的差异。结果表明,中老年女性更可能通过参加工作来对子女提供资金支持;同时在保持其原有工作量的条件下,牺牲闲暇时间照顾孙子女。此外,与儿子相比,她们更可能向女儿提供财富和时间转移;与继子女相比,则倾向于向亲生子女进行转移。

This paper investigates the relationship between time transfers, financial transfers and paid employment of women. We also examine how transfers vary with the gender and genetic relationship of the child. The results show that near-elderly women are likely to assist their children by working more, either by increasing time spent in paid employment in order to provide monetary transfers to their children, or working in an informal capacity providing grandchild care themselves and maintaining their original level of employment. In addition, these women are more likely to provide transfers, especially time transfers, to daughters than to sons; and they also tend to transfer more to biological children than to Stepchild.
