Women in the labor market
A conversation with professor Rita Ginja.
Main content
The motherhood penalty is well-documented, but what happens at the other end of the reproductive spectrum? Menopause—a transition often marked by debilitating physical and psychological symptoms—also entails substantial costs, but much less is known about it.
Rita Ginja has worked on understanding how labor market policies such as parental leave policies affect couples’ decisions and firms hiring, but also how health insurance provision affects occupational decisions within couples. She has also influential work understanding the impacts of early childhood interventions, anti-poverty policies and the role of quality in public service delivery (ie, doctors and social workers).
