Summary
Gender differences in career trajectories of parents account for large shares of gender employment and pay gaps. This is often referred to as child/motherhood penalties for women (as opposed to child/fatherhood premium for men).
Detailed Call Description
The proposals should:
- Explore the use of longitudinal data from administrative or survey sources on parental careers and/or children’s well-being;
- Explore both individual and structural drivers of gender differences in career trajectories of parents through quantitative models;
- Provide in-depth insight into careers of mothers and fathers, and their implications for family well-being, through qualitative research and case studies.
Within the broad scope of SSH research described above, the proposals are encouraged to pay particular attention to:
- Exploring how specific features of early childhood education and care systems (e.g. quality, availability or affordability) affect child participation and family wellbeing;
- Exploring how child/parent friendly workplaces and organisational cultures affect parental careers and family well-being;
- Quantifying economic costs of child/motherhood penalties;
- Reflecting on how child/motherhood penalties affect women from migrant backgrounds, for example in the context of migration flows following the Russia’s war of aggression on Ukraine;
- Investigating the impact of heteronormative norms, discrimination, and support systems on LGBTIQ parents’ career trajectories and family well-being.
