Abstract
The employment rate for married women with children varies significantly between different countries. In this video, ANNE HANNUSCH analyzes this phenomenon, focusing on the differences between Denmark and the USA. * Developing a quantitative economic model and exploring the effects of child care costs and family transfer programs, Hannusch finds that how we design and distribute the latter is vital in helping married mothers to continue to work. Because the US system provides family transfer support only to those whose income remains under a certain threshold, some mothers choose not to work so that their family income remains below that threshold. * The research provides important insight into how we can reduce gender inequality and level the playing field. * 0:00 Question 2:01 Method 3:04 Findings 5:05 Relevance 6:39 Outlook
