Resource Allocation in Households with Women as Chief Wage Earners
Resource theory and the human capital argument remain the dominant theoretical perspectives for understanding household choice. Yet households in which wives earn more than their husbands do not reflect either one, possibly due to the assumption in these perspectives that all resources are pooled.

متن کاملThe Wage Gains of African-american Women in the 1940s
During the 1940s, the average real weekly wages of black women nearly doubled, thereby narrowing the racial earnings gap among women by a full 15 percentage points.

We find an increasing observe...
