against a large cross-sectional dataset from the US, we find that giving birth during a recession reduces mothers' earnings …, whereas fathers remain mostly unaffected. The asymmetric impact of a recession at the time of childbirth persists for a long … time and accounts for 30 40 percent of the after-childbirth gender gap in earnings.
