利用印度的一项随机自然实验，我们发现女性领导力影响青春期女孩的职业抱负和教育程度。1993年的一项法律为妇女在随机挑选的村委会中保留了领导职位。通过对495个村庄8,453名11-15岁的青少年及其父母的调查，我们发现，与从不保留的村庄相比，在两个选举周期内，父母的性别差距缩小了25%，青少年的性别差距缩小了32%。青春期受教育程度的性别差距被消除，女孩花在家务上的时间减少了。我们没有发现年轻女性劳动力市场机会发生变化的证据，这表明女性领导者的影响主要反映了一种榜样效应。
Exploiting a randomized natural experiment in India, we show that female leadership influences adolescent girls’ career aspirations and educational attainment. A 1993 law reserved leadership positions for women in randomly selected village councils. Using 8,453 surveys of adolescents aged 11–15 and their parents in 495 villages, we find that, compared to villages that were never reserved, the gender gap in aspirations closed by 25% in parents and 32% in adolescents in villages assigned to a female leader for two election cycles. The gender gap in adolescent educational attainment is erased and girls spent less time on household chores. We find no evidence of changes in young women’s labor market opportunities, suggesting that the impact of women leaders primarily reflects a role model effect.
