Is longer maternal care always beneficial? The impact of a 4-year paid parental leave J. Popul. Econ. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2024-03-11
Abstract We study the impact of an extension of paid family leave in the Czech Republic from 3 to 4 years on children’s long-term outcomes. We find that an additional year of maternal care at age 3 has an adverse effect on children’s human capital investments and labor market attachment. Affected children are 6 percentage points less likely to be enrolled in college and 4 percentage points more likely

Early-life economic conditions and old-age male mortality: evidence from historical county-level bank deposit data J. Popul. Econ. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-29
Abstract This paper studies the long-run mortality effects of in utero and early-life economic conditions. We examine how local economic conditions experienced during the Great Depression, proxied by county-level banking deposits during in utero and first years of life, influences old-age longevity. We find that a one-standard-deviation rise in per capita bank deposits is associated with an approximately

Population dynamics of welfare stigma: welfare fraud versus incomplete take-up J. Popul. Econ. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2024-02-24
Abstract This study investigates the conditions under which welfare fraud and incomplete take-up emerge simultaneously and persist for a long time, which has been observed in many countries, particularly Japan and Germany. To do this, we extend models of statistical discrimination and taxpayers’ resentment to simple models of population dynamics. We find two stable boundary equilibria in the first

Abstract Do children cooperate when they decide to provide informal care to their elderly parent? This paper assesses whether a cooperative or non-cooperative model drives the caregiving decisions of children. Focusing on families with two children and one single parent, I use data from a survey of older adults in France to compare the predictive power of the two models. Results suggest that children

I won’t make the same mistake again: burnout history and job preferences J. Popul. Econ. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-23
Abstract The burnout literature has focused on the determinants of burnout, whereas its careers consequences remain understudied. Therefore, we investigate whether recently burned-out individuals differ in job preferences from non-burned-out workers. We link these differences in preferences with (1) perceptions of job demands and resources, as well as (2) the weighting of such perceptions. To this

Domestic violence perception and gender stereotypes J. Popul. Econ. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2024-01-19 Veronica Grembi, Anna C. Rosso, Emilia Barili
Using a survey of more than 4500 Italian women, we address the link between gender stereotypes and perceptions of domestic violence. We define a new measure of stereotypes at the individual level and show that women with stronger stereotypes are less likely to state that violence is common in their area of residence and are more likely to classify physical violence as less severe than privacy breaches

Changes in parental gender preference in the USA: evidence from 1850 to 2019 J. Popul. Econ. (IF 4.7) Pub Date : 2023-07-03 Todd R. Jones, Matthew J. Millington, Joseph Price
We examine the degree to which parental gender preferences in the USA have changed over time. To quantify levels of parental sex preference, we compare the likelihood that mothers have a third child given the gender makeup of their first two children. We construct a novel dataset of women’s fertility histories using full-count censuses from 1850–1880 and 1900–1940 and extend the sample to 2019 using

We estimate the causal effect of mother’s involvement on the amount of trouble an adolescent experiences in school based on a sample of high school students in the USA. Our measure of mother’s involvement encompasses discussing school-related matters and providing help with school projects. We use multiple measures of trouble in school to construct a composite that we link to noncognitive skills. Using
