Abstract

The scope of this workshop is to discuss in an informal setting some new research projects around the theme of ‘Who takes care? Early childcare, inequalities, and women's professional careers’. The objective is to assemble an interdisciplinary network of scholars working in the field to establish future collaborations and networks for future research. The workshop consists of seven presentations of half an hour with large discussions on the topic of each paper. After a November 2019 first workshop when we first launched a LIEPP initiative on “Family Policies”, the long-term goal of this initiative is to consolidate a research group on access to childcare and its consequences on the labor market and socioeconomic inequalities.
