Instability of Employment,Parental Economic Dependence,and the Intergenerational Transmission of Gender Attitudes
Drawing on intergenerational and spousal matching data from the 2020 China Family Panel Studies,this paper examines the transmission and transformation of gender attitudes across generations from the perspective of gender status practices.The absolute status of parents,represented by education,occupation,and income,as well as their relative status,and their gender role attitudes collectively influence the gender attitudes of their children.In the intergenerational transmission of gender attitudes,both parents'gender views significantly affect those of their children,with the father's influence being greater.The transmission of gender attitudes varies between sons and daughters,with sons being more likely to inherit traditional gender attitudes.The stability of parental employment,as an indicator of their absolute status,significantly affects the gender attitudes of their children.The economic dependency within parental relative status has a significant impact on daughters'adoption of more modern gender attitudes.Children's gender attitudes are shaped through socialization and cultural transmission in the family field,centered on the parents,through parental upbringing practices and gender role expectations.
