Kjønnsforskjeller i karriereutvikling etter fødsel av første barn
Vi analyserer utviklingen i arbeidsmarkedsutfall etter fødsel av første barn for norske kvinner og menn som fikk sitt første barn mellom 2015 og 2021. Målet er å beskrive endringene og kjønnsforskjellene i arbeidsmarkedsutfall knyttet til overgangen til foreldreskap og å undersøke om disse henger sammen med jobb-bytter i retning av mer familievennlige jobber etter fødsel blant kvinner. I tråd med tidligere forskning finner vi en sterk nedgang i s…
Does testing young children influence educational attainment and wellbeing
Should young children be tested? Proponents view early testing as a necessary instrument for early targeting. Others consider it detrimental to child mental health and with little impact on educational performance. We exploit variation in low-stakes test-taking in mathematics amongst primary school children in Norway, traditionally a low-testing environment. We examine the introduction of difficult mathematics tests. These tests were introduced t…
Back to work? The impact of education as vocational rehabilitation for work-impaired youth
We investigate the effect of regular education as vocational rehabilitation for young work-impaired adults in Norway. On 1 January 2004, the age limit for receiving support for regular education as a rehabilitation measure was raised from 22 to 26. This led to a substantial shift in the type of vocational rehabilitation offered – from education to subsidised employment – allowing us to address the issue of whether vocational rehabilitation throug…
Do welfare counsellors help at-risk upper secondary school students
Counselling is considered to be an important policy tool to prevent early school leaving, yet little is known about the effect of counselling on student outcomes. We investigate the effect of a novel type of counselling in Norwegian schools: the student welfare counsellor. These counsellors are employed by local welfare offices but placed in upper secondary schools, serving as a link between the student and support services by addressing financia…
The effect of central government grants on local educational policy
The use of intergovernmental grants in educational policies may give rise to a conflict between gains attributable to local flexibility and the central government’s intention to narrow gaps in school spending and resource use across local jurisdictions. This paper estimates the impact on school resources of a Norwegian central government grant intended to decrease the student-teacher ratio in primary school (grades 1–4). The grant was given to th…
What Is the Case for Paid Maternity Leave
We assess the case for generous government-funded maternity leave, focusing on a series of policy reforms in Norway that expanded paid leave from 18 to 35 weeks. We find the reforms do not crowd out unpaid leave and that mothers spend more time at home without a reduction in family income. The increased maternity leave has little effect on children's schooling, parental earnings and labor force participation, completed fertility, marriage, or div…
