.@FraArduini presents a novel approach using a structural model, a system of linear equations, and 🇬🇧 time-use data to estimate individual-level inequality within the household.

Results show a sizable gender gap and ind. with higher education and earnings have + bargaining power

Econ lecturer @fraardui invites parents of children born/ adopted after 2015 (or expecting) to take part in a short survey on their experiences of parental leave. Her aim is to understand how best to reform parental leave, so click to take part https://t.co/m3stuWHNoZ

[Francesca Arduini @FraArduini]

@RachelRachrad @MumsnetTowers Working is a financial necessity for most parents, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon. Both parents taking a long time off work is not feasible in the foreseeable future.
Given this reality, if we want gender equality at work, we must enable gender equality in childcare

[Francesca Arduini @FraArduini]

Read this short article by @NCTcharity on my research on how reforming parental leave in the UK can narrow the gender #paygap. Calling all #Parents to share their experiences and views.

@Pricey75777292 @MumsnetTowers @Pricey75777292, I have heard from many mothers who would have preferred to share their leave with their partners, but were unable to. If we want the gender pay gap to fall, we need to support mothers to return to work.

[Francesca Arduini @FraArduini]

@RachelRachrad @MumsnetTowers Once it is viable for mothers to express milk at work, this will substantially decrease physical differences between parents.

[Francesca Arduini @FraArduini]

@RachelRachrad @MumsnetTowers Currently, in some workplaces it is difficult for mothers to safely express and store milk, but policy can change that. The government’s current recommendations on provision of facilities to support expressing milk at work should be legal requirements (at least for large firms).
