How does parenthood affect one's wages? While entering the workforce and parenthood are both major life events, they have an effect on each other that are sometimes surprising. Why is this interplay between wages and parenthood important anyway? Can we change it? By taking both and economic and anthropological approach to the family wage gap, new insights into what is occurring in the United States workforce, and also why these two life stages affect each other. Examining a cross section of the United States from 1979 to 2000, and comparing them to a cross section of the United States from 1968 to 1997, one can see how society has changed regarding the child rearing decisions of the population. One can also examine how changes in education affect the economic realities of the United States.

The fight for a "living wage" has a long and revealing history as documented here by Lawrence B. Glickman. The labor movement's response to wages shows how American workers negotiated the transition from artisan to consumer, opening up new political possibilities for organized workers and creating contradictions that continue to haunt the labor movement today.Nineteenth-century workers hoped to become self-employed artisans, rather than permanent "wage slaves." After the Civil War, however, unions redefined working-class identity in consumerist terms, and demanded a wage that would reward workers commensurate with their needs as consumers. This consumerist turn in labor ideology also led workers to struggle for shorter hours and union labels.First articulated in the 1870s, the demand for a living wage was voiced increasingly by labor leaders and reformers at the turn of the century. Glickman explores the racial, ethnic, and gender implications, as white male workers defined themselves in contrast to African Americans, women, Asians, and recent European immigrants. He shows how a historical perspective on the concept of a living wage can inform our understanding of current controversies.
