"This research reconsiders the human capital hypothesis that married women have a lower probability of employment after family migration. The empirical analysis focuses on a sample of married parents in the economically active population residing in the midwestern United States in 1980. Our analysis establishes that, after controlling for the effects of migration self-selection bias, family migration increases the probability of employment among married women by 9 percent but has no effect on the probability of employment among married men. This research demonstrates the limitations of the human capital model of family migration and indicates the need for reconceptualizing family migration behavior."
本研究重新审视了人力资本假说，即家庭迁移后已婚女性就业概率较低。实证分析聚焦于1980年居住在美国中西部经济活跃人口中的已婚父母样本。我们的分析表明，在控制了迁移自我选择偏差的影响后，家庭迁移使已婚女性的就业概率提高了9%，但对已婚男性的就业概率没有影响。本研究证明了家庭迁移人力资本模型的局限性，并表明需要重新审视家庭迁移行为。
