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
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
