This article examines the association of mothers’ income with children’s economic mobility in a period of increased women’s labor market participation in Sweden. I found that whether a mother was economically independent and had an income similar to that of the father during her children’s late childhood and adolescence positively associated with upward mobility. The results show a substantial association of mother’s income position to their daughters’ mobility, but not for sons’. Among the primary mechanisms, I argue that extra resources from mothers helped human capital investment through education and that mothers influenced daughters by a gendered role model.

Materfamilias：母亲工作对儿童绝对收入流动性的影响，瑞典南部（1947-2015）

本文研究了在瑞典女性劳动力市场参与度增加的时期，母亲的收入与子女的经济流动性之间的关系。我发现，在孩子的童年晚期和青春期，母亲是否经济独立并且收入与父亲相似，这与向上流动呈正相关。结果表明，母亲的收入状况与其女儿的流动性有很大关系，但与儿子的流动性无关。在主要机制中，我认为母亲的额外资源通过教育帮助人力资本投资，母亲通过性别角色模型影响女儿。
