Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Parenthood typically enhances men's well-being more than women's.
  • Societal expectations link fatherhood to breadwinning, potentially reducing role strain for employed fathers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how involuntary unemployment alters the relationship between parenthood and well-being.
  • To examine gender differences in the impact of unemployment on parental well-being.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a large, longitudinal study of unemployed individuals (Study 1).
  • Analyzed a nationally representative sample (Study 2).
  • Conducted a follow-up experiment (Study 3) on perceptions of employment and parenting.

Main Results:

  • Parenthood predicted higher well-being for women than men during unemployment, reversing the typical pattern.
  • Unemployment threatened work and parent identities for fathers more than mothers.
  • Fathers were more likely than mothers to consider paid employment essential for good parenting.

Conclusions:

  • Involuntary unemployment shifts the well-being benefits of parenthood, favoring women over men.
  • Gender role expectations regarding employment significantly influence parental well-being during unemployment.
  • Findings contribute to understanding the intersection of parenthood, gender roles, and unemployment impacts.
