Abstract

Even though the wage and employment gap between genders has been closing over the last couple of decades, a noticeable spread still persists. A large part of this gap can be attributed to the different life employment patterns of men and women, especially after the birth of a child. In this project, we evaluate the effect of three policies aiming for the enhancement of gender equality. We investigate their effect on parental employment, as well as on people’s attitudes towards parental employment and the partitioning of family responsibilities among parents.
