The Occurrence and Spacing of Second Births
This study examines the relationship between institutional contexts and the transition to a second child in 11 European countries and the US between the 1990s and mid-2000s. Using harmonized longitudinal microdata and mixture cure models, we distinguish between the probability of having a second child (quantum) and the timing of its conception (tempo). We examine both between-country differences and within-country variation over time in labour ma…
Life and Work-life Balance Satisfaction Among Parents Working From Home
This study examines the relationship between working from home (WFH) and satisfaction with work-life balance (WLB) and life satisfaction among parents with dependent children, focusing on moderating factors related to work hours and childcare demands. We differentiate between parents who continued WFH from before the COVID-19 pandemic and those who began WFH during the pandemic. Using a dataset collected via a representative online survey in Cana…
Mechanisms Underlying the Effects of Work from Home on Careers in the Post-Covid Context
This study investigates the role of two mechanisms - perceived workers' performance and commitment - in shaping the career opportunities of teleworkers and office-based workers in the post-pandemic context of the United Kingdom. We outline a theoretical framework that integrates economic and sociological literature on work from home (WFH) and careers, and accounts for workers' gender and parenthood obligations. We test it utilizing data from a di…
What if She Earns More? Gender Norms, Income Inequality, and the Division of Housework
We examine the relationship between female contribution to household income and the division of housework between the partners, while accounting for their attitutes towards gender roles. We use data from the “Generation and Gender Survey” for Poland: a country where both employment rates of women and their involvement in housework are high, men and women work long hours, and labour market regulation and policies are unsupportive of work− family b…
The sex preference for children in Europe
Background : The preference for having children of a particular sex may be reflected in fertility behavior. For example, parents who want to have a son may be more likely to have another child if their firstborn child is female or if they have two female children. They may also speed up the conception, resulting in a faster progression to the next child. Objective : We examine whether there is a sex preference for children in Europe, which is ref…
Gender and labour market outcomes
Historically, women have been less present in the labour force than men and those who worked were more often employed in female dominated and usually lower status and lower paid jobs. Over time, these gender differences have been narrowing, though they have not been eliminated. This is despite the fact that women are increasingly better educated than men. Childrearing responsibilities, which remain unequally distributed among partners, seem to be…

Do Women Managers Lower Gender Pay Gaps? Evidence from Public and Private Firms
This paper analyzes the link between the share of women managers and the size of the firm-level gender pay gap, looking separately at the private and public sectors. Using a large linked employer–employee dataset for Poland and nonparametric and parametric decompositions, the study finds that a greater share of women managers is associated with an increased advantage for women in selected types of public-sector units: the ones in which remunerati…
Cross-Country Evidence on Motherhood Employment and Wage Gaps
This article investigates the effects of work-family policies on motherhood employment and wage gaps. We study twenty-eight European countries, including Central and Eastern European countries. We show that unless the leave period is exceptionally long, enhanced childcare and leave policies help women combine family responsibilities with paid work. The positive effect of leaves is, however, much weaker in countries where childcare is limited. In …
How much does it cost to rear children in Poland
This article analyses the cost of motherhood borne by Polish women. The cost of motherhood is defined as a drop in earnings caused by the presence of children. The findings show that motherhood in Poland is associated with a drop in women’s net monthly earnings of around 13–19%. The results also show that the cost of motherhood varies with the number of children and the drop in wages is particularly high for mothers of three or more children. The…
