#Housing credit lotteries in #Brazil show that early access to homeownership significantly boosts #fertility rates. Subsidies and zoning changes could support young families and address demographic challenges.

A graph of how winning a housing lottery affects family planning across different age groups. Global fertility rates are falling, with major economic consequences. Conventional policies like parental leave and financial incentives have had limited impact. This column presents new evidence from Brazil’s housing credit lotteries, showing that early access to homeownership significantly boosts fertility rates. Housing affects family planning through affordability, stability, and relocation to better environments. Policymakers should consider housing reforms – such as subsidies and zoning changes – to support young families and address demographic challenges.

❔💼 Does parental leave hurt fathers’ careers? A study sent thousands of job applications to test it.

📊 In male-dominated jobs, fathers on long leave were penalized

📉 But the study uncovered that the main factor in hiring discrimination was gender

More exposure to working mothers during middle/high school greatly reduces girls' child penalties when they grow up. Exposure to working fathers has the opposite effect.

Child penalties – the disproportionate career impact of parenthood on women relative to men – are a persistent driver of gender inequality in the labour market. Despite policy efforts, these penalties remain stubbornly high. Using rich data from the US, this column explores the effect of exposure to peers during adolescence. Greater exposure to working mothers during middle and high school significantly reduces girls’ child penalties when they grow up. Exposure to working fathers has the opposite effect, increasing child penalties. Parental role models are critical in shaping gender norms and child-related gender gaps in the labour market.
