Institutions and the prevalence of nonstandard employment (2015, background): “Although few studies have directly examined the relationship between the availability of affordable childcare and the prevalence of part-time work, studies on women’s working hours (Fagan, 2002) and women’s labor force participation (Pettit and Hook, 2005; Uunk et al., 2005; Del Boca et al., 2009; S”
Parental Leave—Possibility or Trap? Does Family Leave Length Effect Swedish Women’s Labour Market Opportunities? (2011, background): “…however, that any threshold value such as this is context dependent and may occur at much shorter periods of time out in countries with fewer possibilities to take a long leave, or at even longer periods of time out in countries where extended family leaves are common (cf. Pettit and Hook, 2005).”
Putting Poverty in Political Context: A Multi-Level Analysis of Adult Poverty across 18 Affluent Democracies (2009, background): “The proximate influence is the welfare state, and the fundamental causal influence involves the power resources of Leftist political actors.”
Advances in explaining women's employment patterns (2012, methodology): “Unsurprisingly, there is evidence for negative effects of high unemployment on women’s likelihood of being employed (e.g. Pettit & Hook 2005; Van Ham & Büchel 2006).”
Blurred Boundaries: Gender and Work–Family Interference in Cross-National Context (2014, background): “Specifically, women are more likely to work full-time in countries with policies that support employed women (Gornick & Meyers, 2003; Pettit & Hook, 2005).”
Preferences or institutions? Work—family life opportunities in seven European countries (2007, background): “In countries with modest leave policies, women may opt not to have children or be forced to leave the labour market for considerable lengths of time (Ruhm, 1998; Waldfogel et al., 1999; Pettit and Hook, 2002).”
Work–Family Policy Trade-Offs for Mothers? Unpacking the Cross-National Variation in Motherhood Earnings Penalties (2016, methodology): “Previous research suggests that these policies may either ameliorate or exacerbate the degree of gender economic inequality (Abendroth, Huffman, & Treas, 2014; Korpi, Ferrarini, & Englund, 2009; Mandel, 2009; Mandel & Semyonov, 2005, 2006; Orloff, 1993; Pettit & Hook, 2005, 2009).”
Winners and losers: The consequences of welfare state policies for gender wage inequality (2012, background): “…puzzling with respect to the less-skilled group.23 Although the availability of public day-care has been found to reduce gender inequality by increasing female labour force participation (Pettit and Hook, 2005), its effect on the relative economic rewards of working women has not yet been studied.”
