Gender specialization in the future of work

Objectif

Work remains heavily gendered around the world, both in the labor market and the home. Women's under-representation in the market, outweighed by their disproportionate share of unpaid work in the home, creates an unbalanced specialization of roles. Women's role as primary childcarers is one key hurdle to their continued labor force participation and especially to their entry and retention into high-paid, time-demanding careers.

GENTALENT aims to understand the asymmetric impacts of childbirth on the careers of men and women through the organizational and cultural drivers of gender-based specialization in the household and the labor market, and the consequences of specialization for intra-couple inequality, individual wellbeing, and child outcomes. This research investigates the specific contexts -- such as workplaces, couples and extended families -- in which gender disparities arise and persist, with implications for the positive and normative roles of public policy. It also foregrounds the impact of trending work arrangements, notably remote work and flexible scheduling, in fostering patterns of parental specialization. Beyond typical labor supply metrics, this research considers broader household outcomes, with a focus on couple dynamics, the mental health and wellbeing of parents, and the developmental trajectories of their children. Finally, the project proposes a novel conceptual framework for understanding the historical evolution of gender specialization, grounded in the distinctive features of childcare relative to other components of domestic work.

GENTALENT will advance the economic literature on gender specialization through methodological innovation and substantive insights, leveraging new administrative and survey data and my expertise on the evolution of gender dynamics in the labor market. It will deepen our understanding of gender (in)equality, questioning the ability of ongoing organizational change to create inclusive workplaces and societies.
