Making work pay : increasing labour supply of secondary earners in low income families with children

Kurowska, Anna; Myck, Michał; Wrohlich, Katharina - 2015

In-work support through the tax-benefit system has proved to be an effective way of increasing labour supply of lone mothers and first earners in couples in a number of OECD countries. At the same time these instruments usually create negative employment incentives for secondary earners. This in...

Financial support for families with children and its trade-offs : balancing redistribution and parental work incentives

Myck, Michał; Kurowska, Anna; Kundera, Michał - 2013

Women's career choices, social norms and child care policies

Barigozzi, Francesca; Cremer, Helmuth; Roeder, Kerstin - 2017

Our model explains the observed gender-specific patterns of career and child care choices through endogenous social norms. We study how these norms interact with the gender wage gap. We show that via the social norm a couple's child care and career choices impose an externality on other couples,...
