摘要
我们研究了人们早期的环境和经历在多大程度上影响了其后来的人生历程。我们利用UK纵向数据对1991年至2010年15~20年4339人的就业和护理历史进行了动态分析。我们使用最佳匹配和集群分析将这些历史作为序列进行分析,以确定五种不同的就业—护理道路。回归分析显示,在走上这些道路之前,生命阶段、性别以及对家庭和性别角色的态度已经对人们进行了区分。差分估计显示,收入、主观健康和幸福感的一些初始差异会随着时间的推移而变大,而另一些差异则变小。特别是,那些遵循最密集型护理路径的人,他们最终不仅变得越来越穷,主观健康和幸福水平也相对下降。这些结果证实,早期的环境对后期的生命历程有很大的影响,这与预决定(pre-determination)、持续性(persistence)及路径依赖理论是一致的。
We investigate the extent to which people s earlier circumstances and experiences shape subsequent life-courses.We do this using UK longitudinal data to provide a dynamic analysis of employment and caregiving histories for 4339 people over 15-20 years between 1991 and 2010.We analyse these histories as sequences using optimal matching and cluster analysis to identify five distinct employment-caregiving pathways.Regression analysis shows that prior to embarking on these pathways,people are already differentiated by life-stage,gender and attitudes towards family and gender roles.Difference-in-differences estimation shows that some initial differences in income,subjective health and wellbeing widen over time,while others narrow.In particular,those following the most caregiving-intensive pathways not only end up poorer but also experience a relative decline in subjective health and wellbeing.These results confirm that earlier circumstances exert a strong influence on later life-courses consistent with pre-determination,persistence and path dependence.
