Abstract	"As overt discrimination has receded and human capital gaps have narrowed, economists have increasingly turned to gender norms to explain why women continue to earn less than men, shoulder the bulk of unpaid care work, and suffer earnings penalties following childbirth. This column discusses how gender norms - both those people internalise and those enforced by peers - act as powerful constraints on women's labour market outcomes. Understanding how these norms form, persist, and can change has major implications for the design of effective labour market policy. The challenge is not merely to alter private preferences, but to shift shared expectations." The study refers to the period 1994-2022 (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
