The aim of this project is to design and evaluate policies and interventions addressed at minimizing the remaining gaps between men and women in the public and the private sphere and thus foster a more inclusive society. We will also examine the implications of these policies for child development and the transmission of gender inequality across generations. We will employ economic theory to study the interplay between different policies and the economic decisions of agents. We will use state-of-the-art econometric techniques to evaluate the effect of policies and interventions on economic outcomes. In our empirical analysis, we will combine secondary data from administrative registers with primary data collected from our own-designed surveys to tackle specific questions and overcome the limitations of existing data. Our project will mainly focus on the Spanish case, though it will explore other environments when necessary. Along the project, we will argue that gender equality is not only desirable in terms of social justice, but it also results in important efficiency gains.
