October 20, 2024, Paper: "Results - We found that mothers are overrepresented in lower-wage firms, accounting for 68% of mothers' wage gap. In contrast, fathers' wage gap accrued within firms. We found limited evidence that compensating differentials, even schedule quality, produce parental wage gaps. Conclusion - We show for the first time that in a major US industry, mothers are segregated in low-paying firms compared to women without children, while fathers are paid more than men without children in the same firms. Our findings largely do not tell a story of parents voluntarily choosing between wages and job quality, instead calling for more research on firm practices."
