摘要
This study analyzes the effect of fathers' parental leave-taking on the time fathers spend with their children and with household duties and on fathers' labor supply. Fathers' leave-taking is highly selective and the identification of causal effects relies on within-father differences in leave-taking for first and higher order children that were triggered by a policy reform promoting more gender equality in leave-taking. Results show that even short periods of fathers' parental leave may have long-lasting effects on fathers' involvement in childcare and housework. Effects on labor supply do not persist over time.
