abstract: 'Female old age poverty is affected by family policy reforms which are
meant to promote gender equality when young. Using our in house agent
based simulation model IFSIM we show that sharing equally the parental
leave can increase or reduce poverty among elderly women depending on
the macro and behavioural (i.e. labour supply) responses that the reform
off-sets. In general, the reform can be good for highly educated women,
who will have an incentive to work more full time thanks to their higher
earnings, which can compensate any loss in household income due to the
man''s staying home. For lower educated however, work might not pay as
much and a reduction in labour supply might actually ensue (e.g. to
reduce childcare costs). This will reduce also their pension rights at
retirement. Furthermore, keeping men at home might slow down economic
growth, and consequently growth of income pension accounts will be
lower. This effect, combined with lower pension contributions (due to
reduced labour supply), might result in higher poverty rates for women
with lower education, compared to a scenario where the woman takes the
whole leave. Other policies, such as more subsidised child care, might
be an alternative worth considering to reduce female poverty in old age
more evenly across educational levels. (C) 2010 Society for Policy
