Excessive bureaucracy can frustrate workers. A German experiment shows that removing non-essential tasks led to increased sales, improved customer ratings, and made workers less likely to leave. G Friebel, M Heinz, M Hoffman, @tkretschmer.bsky.social, N Zubanov cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Businesses use checklists to exercise managerial control and ensure quality, but excessive bureaucracy can frustrate skilled workers and reduce morale. This column presents a randomised control trial in a German bakery chain that removed two time-consuming, non-essential checklists in selected stores. After abolishing the checklists, sales rose by 2.7%, customer ratings improved, and qualified workers – especially store managers – were less likely to leave. The regional managers accurately predicted the outcomes, suggesting that empowering middle managers with discretion over control mechanisms could boost both performance and wellbeing.

Manuel Bagues & Natalia Zinovyeva find that #gender segregation in #education stems from gender segregation in childhood activities and friendships, which are shaped by family income and parenting styles. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Graph of the gender equality paradox in higher education.

The most economically prosperous and gender-equal societies often display stronger gender segregation in educational choices – a pattern known as the ‘gender equality paradox’. This column explores this paradox using data on half a million children in 37 Western countries and 10,000 British families over two decades. The findings suggest that gender segregation in education stems from gender segregation in childhood activities and friendships, which are shaped by family income and parenting styles. Policymakers may need to move beyond promoting formal equality and focus on family, community, and school interventions that encourage mixed-gender interactions.

A lot of attention is rightfully on gender inequalities in the labour market and, to a lesser degree, on inequalities in unpaid work ⚖️ But men falling behind in education and the lack of debate around this is also a big societal problem. Great paper 👇
