我们估计了劳动力供应、生育率和储蓄的动态生命周期模型，其中纳入了职业选择，以及职业生涯中不同的具体工资路径和技能萎缩。这使我们能够了解职业选择和期望生育率之间的权衡，以及对劳动力市场和职业进行分类。我们量化了与儿童相关的生命周期职业成本，以及它们如何分解为中断期间的技能损失、收入机会的丧失以及选择对儿童更友好的职业。我们分析了鼓励生育政策的长期影响，结果表明其远小于短期影响。
We estimate a dynamic life cycle model of labor supply, fertility, and savings, incorporating occupational choices, with specific wage paths and skill atrophy that vary over the career. This allows us to understand the trade-off between occupational choice and desired fertility, as well as sorting both into the labor market and across occupations. We quantify the life cycle career costs associated with children, how they decompose into loss of skills during interruptions, lost earnings opportunities, and selection into more child-friendly occupations. We analyze the long-run effects of policies that encourage fertility and show that they are considerably smaller than short-run effects.
