Men with traditional values earn more
From Scientific Blogging:
Timothy Judge, PhD, and Beth Livingston from the University of Florida say that sexism still exists and it has positive effects on income … if you’re a man. Their study says men who believe in what they call traditional roles for women (whether they believed a woman’s place is in the home, whether employing wives leads to more juvenile delinquency, whether a man should be the primary earner and if the woman should take care of the home and family) earn more money than men who don’t, though women with more traditional outlooks don’t make much more than women with more egalitarian views.
From my personal experience, I was once highly motivated to make a lot of money to be able to care for my wife at the time. Her employment was somewhat hampered by a health issue. I felt duty-bound to earn for both of us.
What’s your personal experience?
