Really very happy to see this nice coverage of our paper in Nature Magazine
Full paper here cep.lse.ac.uk/_new/publicati…
Becoming a parent is much more detrimental to women’s academic careers than it is to men’s, lowering their chances of getting university jobs, tenure and reducing their publication output, finds a large analysis of academics in Denmark. go.nature.com/4tcouqQ

Hver tredje kvinde forlader en forskningskarriere, efter hun er blevet mor, viser nyt dansk studie. Imens fortsætter fædres karriere stort set uændret.

A third of women no longer work in academia eight years after having a child, according to new research that suggests extra childcare responsibilities are hindering women’s abilities to climb the career ladder. @JulietteRowsell reports #leakypipeline

On the bright side, departments matter👇
Women who do their phd in departments with senior women face smaller penalties
Competitive, highly productive department increases the size of the penalty

A new Copenhagen Business School article highlights evidence that Denmark’s 2022 paternity leave reform changed leave-taking patterns, social attitudes & gender earnings gaps. Featuring research by Camille Landais & co-authors. via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelel…
Yesterday, it was Women’s Day
Today, you can read our paper on parenthood and women’s under-representation in academia
Parenthood leads to women leaving academia - not just a career slowdown
👇👇👇
Joint work with
Sofie Cairo, @RiaIvandic & @vale_tartari
In sum: parenthood leads to highly educated, ambitious women to leave their preferred occupation. The magnitude is large
In research, this affects both the quality and direction of science
And the mechanism might be present in other demanding jobs: law, consultancy, finance

Comments most welcome!!
Can family policies shift gendered beliefs, social norms, and ultimately gender gaps in the labor market?
Yes!
Read our new WP for all the details
Studying whether policy can shift gendered beliefs, norms, and labor market outcomes by exploiting a major expansion of earmarked paternity leave in Denmark, from Henrik Kleven, Camille Landais, @AnSoLassen, Philip Rosenbaum, @herdissteingrim, and Jakob Egholt Søgaard nber.org/papers/w34862
We also find labor market effects beyond the leave period
In the second year after the child is born (i.e. after leave has been exhaused), we find
- Gender earnings gap declines by 2.8pp
- Gender hours gap declines by 1.4pp
This corresponds to ~14% of Denmark’s child penalty.
