The child penalty atlas
07 Feb 2024, 13:00 – 14:00
Most countries display clear and sizable child penalties: men and women follow parallel trends before parenthood, but diverge sharply and persistently after parenthood. While this qualitative pattern is pervasive, there is enormous variation in the magnitude of the effects across different regions of the world.
Gabriel will discuss the fraction of gender inequality explained by child penalties, which varies systematically with economic development and proxies for structural transformation.
Because parenthood is often tied to marriage, he also investigates the existence of marriage penalties in female employment.
This event will be particularly useful for sociology, economics and development economics.
Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.
