abstract: 'Over the past decades, Spain has seen a striking convergence between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s and men''s participation in the labour market. However, this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
convergence has stalled since the early 2010s. We show that women still
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fare worse in several important labour market dimensions. Gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities are further aggravated among people with children. Women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with children under 16 are much more likely to be unemployed, work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
part-time or on temporary contracts than men with children of the same
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
age. We show that it is unlikely that preferences alone can account for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these gaps. A review of the evidence shows that family policies, such as
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
paternity leave expansions, financial incentives in the form of tax
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
credits for working mothers and subsidised or free childcare for very
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
young children, could help reduce the motherhood penalty. However, such
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies are likely to be more effective if combined with advances in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
breaking up traditional gender roles.'
