?:abstract
  • "We study a possible nurture effect of political systems on the evolution of work and career preferences by women and men, exploiting the 41-year division of Germany and its reunification in 1990 as a natural experiment. We investigate whether disparate political and social systems produced different gender gaps in preferences with respect to work andcareer-related job attributes, and how they evolved over the reunification years. Based on the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS) in years 1991, 1998/2000 and 2010/2012,our analyses reveal substantial differences between East and West gender gaps in preferences for work directly after reunification and no convergence over the following 20 years.Regarding career attributes, such as high income and promotion opportunities, in 1991 gaps in preferences hardly differ between East and West regions. Until 2010, they have vanished in the East but widened in the West. These findings are robust to considering potential pre-separation differences between the two halves of Germany as well as selective migration flows and heterogeneity across states. Cohort analyses confirm that the effects are driven by respondents who spent their adolescence in separated Germany. Accordingly, our results provide strong evidence for the impact of nurture on preference formation, while age and length of exposure are important determinants of the extent of such impact."
