In this paper we tested three hypotheses: (a) the transition to fatherhood is associated with an increase in work effort; (b) the positive association (if any) between the transition to fatherhood and work effort is greater for fathers who are married at the time of the transition; and (c) the association (if any) is greater for men who make the transition at younger ages. The data are from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Cohort. The transition to fatherhood was associated with an increase in work effort among young unmarried men, but not for married men. Among married men who were on-time fathers, work effort decreased. Among childless men, the marriage transition was associated with increased work effort.
在本文中，我们检验了三个假设：（a）成为父亲与工作投入的增加有关；（b）对于在成为父亲时已婚的男性，成为父亲与工作投入之间的正向关联（如果存在的话）更大；以及（c）对于在较年轻时成为父亲的男性，这种关联（如果存在的话）更大。数据来自1979年全国青年纵向调查队列。成为父亲与年轻未婚男性工作投入的增加有关，但已婚男性并非如此。在按时成为父亲的已婚男性中，工作投入减少。在无子女的男性中，婚姻转变与工作投入的增加有关。
