家庭政策是否减少了劳动力市场中的性别不平等？我们利用涵盖奥地利工人半个多世纪的管理数据，调查了育儿假和育儿的共同影响，为这场辩论做出了贡献。我们首先通过准实验确定自20世纪50年代以来所有家庭政策改革对男性和女性收入的全面动态的因果影响。然后，我们将这些因果估计映射到一个分解框架中，以计算反事实的性别不平等系列。我们的结果表明，育儿假和育儿假的大幅扩大几乎没有对性别趋同产生影响。(Jel D63、J13、J16、J31、J32)
Do family policies reduce gender inequality in the labor market? We contribute to this debate by investigating the joint impact of parental leave and childcare, using administrative data covering Austrian workers over more than half a century. We start by quasi-experimentally identifying the causal effects of all family policy reforms since the 1950s on the full dynamics of male and female earnings. We then map these causal estimates into a decomposition framework to compute counterfactual gender inequality series. Our results show that the enormous expansions of parental leave and childcare have had virtually no impact on gender convergence. (JEL D63, J13, J16, J31, J32)
