Chart showing how mothers are more likely to receive the first contact from schools than fathers. Mothers continue to shoulder the majority of childcare responsibilities even in dual-earner households, contributing to gender gaps in earnings, labour force participation, and career advancement. This column uses an experiment targeting over 80,000 US school principals to show that when a school needs to contact a parent, the mother is 1.4 times more likely than the father to receive the first call. A further survey saw mothers consistently identified as the primary point of contact across a wide range of domains, including doctors, sports coaches, and religious leaders. Suggestive evidence points to gendered interruptions contributing to broader economic inequality.
