Data from over 80,000 US school principals shows that when a school needs to contact a parent, the mother is 1.4 times more likely than the father to receive the first call. @kbuzard7.bsky.social‬ @laurakgee.bsky.social @olgastoddard.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
Chart showing how mothers are more likely to receive the first contact from schools than fathers. 

Mothers continue to shoulder the majority of childcare responsibilities even in dual-earner households, contributing to gender gaps in earnings, labour force participation, and career advancement. This column uses an experiment targeting over 80,000 US school principals to show that when a school needs to contact a parent, the mother is 1.4 times more likely than the father to receive the first call. A further survey saw mothers consistently identified as the primary point of contact across a wide range of domains, including doctors, sports coaches, and religious leaders. Suggestive evidence points to gendered interruptions contributing to broader economic inequality.

Such a cool paper! When I think about interruption at work (and mental load on which we know even less), this is my first reference!

This absolutely tracks. We even TELL providers to call me first (as I have the more flexible workday), but "call mom" is still 100% the default.

This resonates. We found it surprisingly hard to get some places to call me (who can almost always answer phone) before my wife (who often cannot).
