“We often see women returning from maternity leave who are given less
work or dead end assignments,” Dina Bakst, head of the advocacy group A
Better Balance, told NPR.
“And this type of discrimination really drags down wages for women
because they get off track, and even worse off and pushed out of the
workforce.”
Using a sample size of more than 10,000 economists, researchers Matthias Krapf at the University of Zurich, Heinrich W. Ursprung at the University of Konstanz, and Christian Zimmermann at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis found that those with children aren’t any less productive than those without. In fact, economists who are parents are slightly more productive than their childless peers, though the difference isn’t statistically significant.
