Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper uses the 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce (NSCW) to investigate gender differences in take-ups of employer-provided health insurance. Few sociological studies simultaneously include family and personal factors as well as employers’ contributions to examine gender differences health insurance take-ups. For our analysis, the sample consists of 2,271 workers who were offered personal health insurance from employers. Separate logistic regressions for women and men predict the likelihood of workers’ take-ups. Results indicate that employer contribution is the strongest predictor of take-ups for women and men. Parental status influences take-ups differently depending on how much employers pay (among men) and whether women are married. Finally, the influence of employer contribution is stronger among men than women.
