El Gobierno implementó en 2007 un cheque-bebé que concedía 2.500€ a cada madre por hijo nacido, independientemente de su renta.

Estimaciones causales encuentran que NO tuvo efecto sobre la salud y/o la educación de los niños.

En cambio, aumentó el gasto en electrodomésticos y reformas del hogar.

🙋‍♀️ thank you!

The "child penalty" significantly reduces women’s lifetime earnings and pension savings, but it remains unclear whether these gaps are the deliberate result of forward-looking decisions. This paper provides novel evidence on the role of information constraints in mothers’ labor supply decisions. We first document descriptively that mothers are largely inattentive to the long-term financial consequences of reduced hours. In a large-scale field experiment that combines rich survey and administrative data, we then provide mothers with objective, individualized information about the long-run costs of reduced labor supply. The treatment increases demand for financial information and future labor supply plans, in particular among women who underestimate the long-term costs. Leveraging linked employer administrative data one year post-intervention, we observe that mothers who underestimate the long-term costs increase their labor supply by 6 percent over the mean.
