The motherhood pay gap: Why women’s earnings decline after having children

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, February 6, 2024

An even more striking difference is the “motherhood pay gap” that happens when women have children.

Key Points: 
  • An even more striking difference is the “motherhood pay gap” that happens when women have children.
  • Also known as the “family gap” or child penalties, women’s earnings plummet after the birth of a child, while men’s barely budge.
  • Children have a negative effect on women’s productivity in the labour market by substantially reducing their human capital, which translates into a significant decrease in their earnings.

The effects of parenthood

  • We used data from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal and International Study of Adults coupled with historical administrative records from 1982 to 2018.
  • We observed large and persistent negative effects of parenthood for mothers, but not fathers.
  • Mothers’ earnings decrease by 49 per cent the year of birth, with a penalty of 34.3 per cent 10 years after.

Unequal effects of children

  • The birth of children results in large earnings losses that are not equally distributed within heterosexual couples.
  • This is especially true for mothers of multiple children or those with a lower education level.

Equal pay for equal work

  • We investigated the role of family policies, since they were in part designed to encourage maternal employment and promote more equal sharing of parenting responsibilities between partners.
  • “Equal pay for equal work” policies, such as the federal government’s Pay Equity Act, also have the potential to make a substantial difference.

More benefits down the line

  • A recent study using data from 29 countries showed that employed mothers were more likely to transmit egalitarian values to their children both at work and at home.
  • Girls with employed mothers ended up working more themselves: they worked more hours, were better paid and held supervisory positions more often than girls with stay-at-home mothers.
  • However, boys who grew up with employed mothers were more involved in family and domestic responsibilities as adults than men whose mothers were not in the labour market.
  • Working mothers appear to have an intergenerational impact favouring gender equality, both within the family and in the labour market.
  • Knowing how these costs are shared among the two parents is key to enable better decision making, for policymakers, but ultimately, for parents, future parents and their children.
