One thought on “The Motherhood Penalty vs. the Fatherhood Bonus”
There was a study of implicit gender bias that I thought might go along with this. Employers will rank male applicants higher than female applicants, even when the application is the same application just with a “girl” or “boy” name. It speaks to implicit bias about gender stereotypes and how it can negatively affect the workforce for women. http://news.yale.edu/2012/09/24/scientists-not-immune-gender-bias-yale-study-shows
