Only one in four professors is a woman. We show that motherhood is a key driver of the leaky pipeline, particularly at early career stages. More details in the summary and working paper below👇 Sign up to hear my presentation of the research in the CEPR Applied Economics Seminar on 23 March.

👶📚 Does #parenthood affect academic careers equally? A new study shows that after the first child, many mothers leave #academia and are less likely to reach tenure (a permanent professorship) – while fathers’ careers remain largely unchanged. berlinschoolofeconomics.de/about-us/new...
Parenthood and the Career Ladder: Evidence from Academia

by Sofie Cairo, Ria Ivandić, Anne Sophie Lassen, and Valentina Tartari Focus and Research Question
The study examines how becoming a parent affects academic careers and whether it contributes to gender gaps at senior levels. It asks whether motherhood and fatherhood have different effects on staying in academia and reaching tenure (a permanent senior position).Data and Methodology
The researchers use population-wide Danish administrative data linked to publication records, promotions, and family information. They apply an event-study design, comparing men and women before and after the birth of their first child to isolate the impact of parenthood.Key Findings I – Careers diverge after the first child
Before parenthood, men and women follow similar career paths. After the first child, one in three women leave academia, while men’s academic employment declines only slightly.

More paternity leave leads to more progressive views and smaller gender gaps. Exciting research 👇🏻

During the first UK COVID-19 lockdown, social distancing had many unintended side-effects. One of the darker ones: a shift in domestic abuse (DA) patterns. In a paper just published in Economica, we dig into how exposure plays a crucial role. Link to study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Holy forking shirt balls "Denial of a wanted abortion has both immediate and lasting effects. It increases a woman’s risk of death by 2.5 p.p within nine months, mainly due to unsafe abortion procedures, and raises the likelihood of carrying the pregnancy to term by 31 p.p. "
