abstract: 'We use a difference-in-differences model with individual fixed effects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to evaluate a 1999 Spanish law granting employment protection to workers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with children younger than 6 who had asked for a shorter workweek due to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
family responsibilities. Our analysis shows that well-intended policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can potentially backfire and aggravate labor market inequalities between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men and women, since there is a very gendered take-up, with only women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
typically requesting part-time work. After the law was enacted,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employers were 49\% less likely to hire women of childbearing age, 40\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
more likely to separate from them, and 37\% less likely to promote them
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to permanent contracts, increasing female non-employment by 4\% to 8\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relative to men of similar age. The results are similar using older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women unaffected by the law as a comparison group. Moreover, the law
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
penalized all women of childbearing age, even those who did not have
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children. These effects were largest in low-skill jobs, at firms with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
less than 10 employees, and in industries with few part-time workers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These findings are robust to several sensitivity analyses and placebo
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tests.
