Abstract	"Family-responsive benefits have important consequences for workers balancing work-family demands. Previous research on the distribution of family-responsive benefits has focused on intra-organizational determinants or general labour market characteristics, at the expense of local labour market factors. We address this deficiency by analysing a unique random sample of US work establishments nested in their local labour markets. Specifically, we ask whether, net of establishment and local labour market characteristics, women's local labour market standing influences the prevalence of family-responsive benefits. The results indicate that women's labour market status, measured with a composite of occupational gender integration, aggregate educational attainment and percentage of women in managerial roles, has a strong positive net effect on the prevalence of family-responsive workplace benefits. However, no significant interaction between women's status and establishment-level characteristics was found. Our findings highlight the importance of local labour markets in the distribution of family-responsive benefits across organizations." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
