This conference is open to the public. For full conference details, check the Weatherhead Initiative on Gender Inequality website listing.
The conference will focus on recent and novel research on time use and policies that affect the lives of working parents and children. These will include: firm policies and work organization; state or national policies on parental leave; subsidized daycare, after school programs, school hours, and parental time inputs in child education. Thus, the three main topics that will each be the focal point of a half-day session are: Firms, Government, and Families.
