“…Our findings are in line with this work. Specifically, theoretical modeling and empirical evidence suggest that common-law spouses may have less incentive to specialize, since the union is easier to break off and spouses have less legal responsibilities toward each other than do married individuals (for a review, see Gousse ´and Leturcq 2018). In this context, we find a positive correlation between the level of commitment within a relationship and the size of the sorting effect.…”

Using data from the Canadian Employer-Employee Dynamics Database between 2001 and 2015, the authors examine the impact of firms’ hiring and pay-setting policies on the gender earnings gap in Canada. Consistent with the existing literature and following Card, Cardoso, and Kline (2016), findings show that firm-specific premiums explain nearly one-quarter of the 26.8% average earnings gap between female and male workers. On average, firms’ hiring practices, due to differences in the relative proportion of women hired at high-wage firms (known as sorting), and pay-setting policies, due to differences in pay by gender within similar firms, each explain approximately one-half of this firm effect. The compositional difference between the two channels varies substantially over a worker’s life cycle, by parental and marital status, and across provinces.

“…This suggests that living arrangements interact with the role of firms in the gender earnings gap, beyond mechanisms associated with the presence of children. The relationship between marital status, intra-household resource allocation, and women's labour supply is well documented in the literature (e.g., Chiappori, Fortin, and Lacroix (2002); Goussé and Leturcq (2018); Stevenson (2007); Voena (2015)). However, ours is the first paper to show that household dynamics may be associated with differences in access to firm premiums.…”
