"For many women in the U.S. and around the world, motherhood comes with career
costs.
Raising children tends to lead to lower wages and fewer work hours for mothers
– but not fathers – in the United States and around the world.
As a sociologist, I study how family relationships can shape your economic
circumstances. In the past, I’ve studied how motherhood tends to depress
women’s wages, something social scientists call the “motherhood penalty.”
I wondered: Can government programs that provide financial support to parents
offset the motherhood penalty in earnings?"
