Abstract: This short report uses a representative school-based sample (Add Health) to characterize local measures of (classmates’) beliefs about traditional sex roles in examining short and long term outcomes for women and men through age 30. Regression analyses suggest several key findings. First, women who attended high school with “traditionalist” classmates have much worse labor market outcomes. Second, the penalty for women’s outcomes is higher if the “traditionalist” classmates are women (vs. men). Third, a large share (typically >50%) of the labor market impacts may be due to reductions in educational outcomes (test scores and completed schooling). Fourth, males also have some reductions in human capital and earnings whose high school classmates were “traditionalist”.
