A successful career is seldom a purely individual achievement. It
has been shown that in addition to a person's own talents and
efforts, resources provided by parents and friends can help a
person to become successful. Whether a spouse's resources have a
similar effect is the topic of the present study. To be successful
at work, does it matter who you have married? More specifically,
this study attempts to answer questions such as whether unemployed
husbands are more or less likely to find employment if their wife
is employed. Does it facilitate or impede a wife's career if her
husband has a university degree? Is a wife more or less likely to
interrupt her career if her husband's earnings are high? To answer
these questions, economic and sociological ideas are combined and
elaborated. Recent data on the labor market position of couples in
the Netherlands are analyzed, including longitudinal data on the
coupled careers' of spouses.
