My Research in 5 Tweets for International Women’s Day

For International Women’s day, I decided to summarise my research in five tweets:

  1. Motherhood is still associated with lower employment rates among women.
  2. Family policies matter: paid leave facilitates the employment of mothers, but family allowances stimulate the traditional breadwinner model.
  3. Work-Family reconciliation policies are most important to stimulate the employment of women with traditional gender role attitudes.
  4. Women’s Employment matters: Their earnings reduce income inequality among coupled households
  5. Women’s Employment matters: Their earnings reduce single mother poverty
