At the conference, Iga Magda presented the results of work conducted together with Natalia Danzer and Mateusz Smoter as part of the Beethoven project “GeNLaMO – Social norms and the situation of women and men in the labour market.” The presented article discusses the factors behind men’s decision to take parental leave. The authors also use an information experiment to explore the role of social norms in the context of childcare.
