Immigrant women tend to do more unpaid labor, such as housework and childcare, than native-born women in the U.S., new Cornell research has found.
A team of researchers including Francine D. Blau, the Francis Perkins Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations and professor of economics, and Lawrence M. Kahn, the Braunstein Family Professor and professor of economics, both in the ILR School, analyzed the gender division of nonmarket work, comparing immigrant and native-born men and women.
“Professors Blau and Kahn, who have been leading the study of gender and the labor market for decades, continue to break new ground with this recent award-winning study,” said Alexander Colvin, Ph.D. ’99, the Kenneth F. Kahn ’69 Dean of the ILR School. “It shows, once again, the power of their comparative work, drawing on cross-national data to deepen our understanding of the impacts of culture and gender on labor market behavior.”
