The Impact of Different Social-Policy Frameworks on Social Inequalities among Women in the European Union: The Labour-Market Participation of Mothers (2013, background): “Within both the member countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the EU, the “standard” working time differs across countries for both women and men.”
Institutions and the prevalence of nonstandard employment (2015, background): “…employment (Solo) Self-employment Taxation system Joint income taxation systems + (Dearing et al., 2007; see Dingeldey, 2001 for mixed evidence; Jaumotte, 2004; OECD, 2010b; Rubery, 2001, p. 153) Tax rates on starting a new business – (Parker, 2004; van Stel et al., 2007; Braunerhjelm and…”
Women Workers in India: Why so Few Among so Many? (2015, background): “However, as Jaumotte (2003) points out, working for a wage is chosen by women only if earnings at least make up for the lost home production (and the associated costs), implying a higher elasticity of female labor supply to wages.”
Work-family policies and the effects of children on women's employment hours and wages (2011, background): “While other policies such as tax policies or child benefits (Jaumotte, 2003) may affect parents’ employment and wages, work-family reconciliation policies target the pressures families face in balancing care and employment.”
Does the cost of child care affect female labor market participation? An evaluation of a French reform of childcare subsidies (2015, background): “Policies that help to balance family and work have been considered as the most efficient way of increasing the female participation rate in OECD countries (see for instance Jaumotte, 2003).”
The mismatch between employment and child care in Italy: the impact of rationing (2007, neutral): “Moreover, these findings are in contrast to what found for other countries where full time work is more cost-sensitive than part-time work (Powell 1998; Jaumotte 2003).5 Using the Bank of Italy data, Chiuri (2000) does not find significant effect of child care costs.”
Family policies and single parent poverty in 18 OECD countries, 1978–2008 (2014, background): “Many scholars have found that reconciliation policies are particularly effective in shaping women’s employment outcomes (Jaumotte, 2003; Nieuwenhuis et al., 2012; Pettit & Hook, 2009; Van der Lippe, & Van Dijk, 2002).”
Work–Family Policy Trade-Offs for Mothers? Unpacking the Cross-National Variation in Motherhood Earnings Penalties (2016, background): “…earners’ income that pays for the increased income taxes in a dual-earner household where the first earner’s wages equals 100% of average production workers’ wages, and the second earner would go from earning no wages to earning 100% of average production workers’ wages as well (Jaumotte, 2003b).”
Advances in explaining women's employment patterns (2012, background): “On all accounts, generous child benefits that are paid irrespective of parents’ employment status and choice of childcare tend to have a negative impact on women’s labour market participation (Jaumotte 2004).”
Women, Work, and the Economy:Macroeconomic Gains from Gender Equity (2013, background): “Accordingly, higher FLFP and greater earnings by women could result in higher expenditure on school enrollment for children, including girls, potentially triggering a virtuous cycle, when educated women become female role models (Aguirre and others 2012; Miller 2008).”
PERSPECTIVE ARTICLE: The impact of Nordic countries’ family friendly policies on employment, wages, and children (2008, background): “This is confirmed by empirical studies, see for instance Gustafsson and Stafford (1992), Pylkka ¨nen and Smith (2004), Hank and Kreyenfeld (2000), Kangas and Rostgaard (2005) and the survey in Jaumotte (2004) .”
Gender Role Attitudes and the Labour-market Outcomes of Women across OECD Countries (2005, methodology): “The present study thus complements studies which emphasize the role of gender-equality or family-friendly policies and labour-market institutions as important determinants of women’s labour-market outcomes (Jaumotte, 2003).”
