Carnevale, Anthony P.; Strohl, Jeff; Melton, Michelle – Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 2011
Over the years, there has been a persistent lack of available information about the economic consequences of choosing one academic major over another.

We use 1995 MIDUS data (n = 2,085) to assess whether the gender gap in help persists across different types of help (unpaid task assistance, emotional support, financial assistance) to parents and in-laws. We also examine whether joint employment patterns influence levels of help. Persistent gender differences are identified in levels of emotional…
