This study responds to the call for a more nuanced understanding of intragenerational variations and provides a detailed insight into how men and women in Generation Z perceive work motivation. Unlike most prior studies with a similar focus, this study is qualitative, employing a specific method...

We investigate whether having a daughter in a patriarchal society gives fathers a reason to reject prevailing social norms favouring gender discrimination against women. In particular, we develop a utility (rather than behavioural) model to frame the problem and derive hypotheses that can be...

We experimentally evaluate a novel approach to IPV prevention that harnesses social media to recruit and engage men in a virtual support group delivered by trained male facilitators via WhatsApp. The program succeeded in recruiting men at high risk of committing IPV through self-targeting alone:...

We study how population variation in testosterone levels impacts male labour market earnings using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study between 2011 and 2013. We exploit genetic variation between individuals as instrumental variables following a Mendelian Randomization approach to...

Gender gaps in employment have narrowed but remain substantial, particularly among couples. To estimate how improved female wage opportunities influence partners' employment choices, I exploit demand-driven wage changes in job tasks and German administrative data. Results indicate women respond...

We use the 2006 Qu'ebec paternity leave reform to replicate Dahl et al., 2014 who estimate the peer effects of paternity leave taking among male co-workers. The Qu'ebec reform of the paternity leave system closely resembles the Norwegian 1993 reform they analyze. Using high-quality...

We study how population variation in testosterone levels impacts male labour market earnings using data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study between 2011 and 2013. We exploit genetic variation between individuals as instrumental variables following a Mendelian Randomization approach to...

Female fertility patterns and its drivers have been extensively studied around the world, often to the exclusion of male fertility patterns especially in developing country contexts. We address this gap by examining male fertility patterns in the Philippines. Using own-children estimates derived...

This paper examines monthly earnings volatility and its transmission to household earnings volatility using Norwegian data on the universe of monthly pay histories. We document substantial month-to-month earnings changes: within a job, while over one-quarter of months have no earnings changes,...

Do men negatively respond when women first enter an occupation? We answer this question by studying the end of one of the final explicit occupational barriers to women in the U.S.: in 2016, the U.S. military opened all positions to women, including historically male-only combat occupations. We...

Public spending on gender equality and women's empowerment is rising rapidly in many countries. However, the unintended consequences of women's empowerment is rarely measured and remains poorly understood. We study the impact of female empowerment programs on male backlash through a series of...

Evidence shows that Guinean women and girls face important barriers across all dimensions of well-being that prevent them from having access to opportunities on an equal footing with men. The poor agency of women and girls, as reflected in the high prevalence of discriminatory legal and social...

This study investigates whether the success of salary history bans could be limited by job-seekers volunteering their salaries unprompted. We survey American workers in 2019 and 2021 about their recent job searches, distinguishing when candidates were asked about salary history from when they...

Der Gender Pay Gap lag in Deutschland im Jahr 2023 bei 18 Prozent. Damit blieb der Wert im fünften Jahr in Folge unverändert, obwohl Frauen in derselben Zeit zunehmend gut bezahlte Berufe ausübten. Diese anhaltende Lohnlücke zwischen Männern und Frauen wirft Fragen nach Ursachen und...

The research aims to explore consumer perceptions of masculinity in advertising in an innovative approach. The authors aimed to determine which type of masculinity and which brand and masculinity archetypes consumers favor in a masculine character. That would help the advertisers understand what...

This paper utilizes the 1968-2019 survey waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to analyze the added worker effect for wives of husbands who lose their job through no fault of their own. Specifically, we focus on the potential changes to the added worker effect over time. For wives who were...

We ask whether it is more effective to target men, women, or both – with the same intervention in the same context – to improve women’s outcomes when behaviour is governed by gendered social norms. We conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial of an edutainment intervention in Pakistan...
