Overview

Examines the relationship between education, children, and employment in households, indicating persistent gender roles.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how educational attainment and the presence of young children influence household employment arrangements in Turkey.
  • Analyzed couples' employment behavior using a household-level perspective.
  • Constructed a 20-year pooled dataset from the Turkish Household Labor Force Survey, containing approximately 10 million observations.
  • Estimated a multinomial logistic regression model to compute predicted probabilities.
  • The wife’s educational attainment is the strongest predictor of couples’ employment behavior.
  • Association with the male breadwinner model intensified among couples with children aged 0-2, especially among highly educated wives.
  • Observed gradual and uneven transition away from the male breadwinner model over time.
