updates: The study by Dr. Asha Sundaram, Fariha Kamal, and Cristina Tello-Trillo reveals that family leave mandates can exacerbate gender inequalities during economic downturns. The research suggests that negative trade shocks can disproportionately impact female employees at FMLA-covered companies, leading to more separations and fewer promotions for women compared to men. The effects are driven by women in prime childbearing ages and without college degrees, and are primarily relevant for employers without any female managers. The authors argue that family leave mandates may exacerbate gender inequalities, especially in the face of negative shocks to the economy.
