• The Parenthood Effect on Gender Inequality: Explaining the Change in Paid and Domestic Work When British Couples Become Parents (2013, result): “The lack of significant associations with men’s gender role attitudes and earnings are consonant with other British studies (Himmelweit and Sigala 2004, Schober and Scott 2010) and suggest that they are not an important factor in British families’ strategies of balancing working and caring.”
• Patterns of paid and unpaid work in Western Europe: gender, commodification, preferences and the implications for policy (2008, background): “Indeed, there may be resistance by women to the policy goal of commodifying care, whether because personal preferences – or at least their revealed preferences – differ (Hakim, 2000); or because of feelings about identity (Akerloff and Kranton, 2000; Himmelweit and Sigala, 2004), and ‘the proper thi”
• The prospects for caring: economic theory and policy analysis (2006, background): “These welfare systems are now more inclined to subsidise the wages and childcare costs of working mothers than to support those mothers to look after their children themselves outside the labour market (Himmelweit et al., 2004).”
• Maternal employment and gender role attitudes: dissonance among British men and women in the transition to parenthood (2012, background): “attitudes, while marriage, parenthood and reductions in paid work are associated with more traditional attitudes (Cunningham et al., 2005; Fan and Marini, 2000; Himmelweit and Sigala, 2004; Kan, 2007).”
• Mothers' search for infant child care: the dynamic relationship between availability and desirability in a continental European welfare state (2008, methodology): “This setting enables the hypotheses formulated by Shlay et al. (2005), Himmelweit and Sigala (2004) and others to be tested – i.e.”
• Advances in explaining women's employment patterns (2012, methodology): “6 Himmelweit and Sigala (2004), for example, use longitudinal micro-data to model the dynamic relation between mothers’ views regarding the effects of maternal employment on child well-being and their actual work behaviour.”
• Sharing the load? Partners’ relative earnings and the division of domestic labour (2015, background): “In the same way that attitudes influence behaviour, behaviour can also affect attitudes (Himmelweit and Sigala, 2004), and an increase in men’s responsibility for housework may lead to a longer-term positive feedback effect and to greater gender equality within the home.”
