    The intergenerational transmission of gender roles: children’s contribution to housework in Germany
    (Journal of Marriage and Family, 2018) Esping-Andersen, Gosta; Cordero Coma, Julia
    Resumen : Research on children's participation in housework is scarce and mainly descriptive. Drawing on theories of gender role socialization, the authors identify how children's contributions are influenced by how their parents allocate domestic tasks. Using data from the German Socioeconomic Panel, which include annual information on time dedicated to housework for all family members, they analyze a sample of 2,293 sons and daughters born 1976 to 1995 who live with their parents at ages 18 and 19 and whose parents reported their own time spent on housework when the children were aged 8 to 11 years. The authors find that parents' housework division when children were ages 8 to 11 affects the likelihood of sons (and less so, daughters) participating in such tasks, even after controlling for parental education, the mother's work attachment, time constraints, and parents' division of housework in adolescence. Analysis of siblings provides additional support for our hypothesis

    Parental time dedication and children’s education: an analysis of West Germany
    (Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, 2018) Cordero Coma, Julia; Esping-Andersen, Gosta; JAI Press
    Parental time dedication in childhood, at least of certain kinds, has been observed to be positive for children's cognitive and emotional development. We examine two underexplored issues: a) the effect of time inputs in early childhood on later educational achievement (at age 17) and b) effect differences by parents’ level of education. We use data from the German Socioeconomic Panel and analyze a sample of 1141 individuals born between 1983 and 1997. Models with and without family fixed-effects are estimated. We find, firstly, that the parenting effect primarily derives from maternal involvement. Secondly, maternal time dedication (at age 4–5) increases the likelihood of attending the prestigious Gymnasium track for children of highly educated mothers. For children of less educated mothers the amount of maternal time in child care makes no substantial difference in Gymnasium attendance. Thirdly, a long-time investment by highly educated mothers is particularly influential when it occurs in early childhood. Finally, the effect of maternal dedication does not vary with mother's employment status.
