Paper Summary

The article explores how pricing in the labor market can be influenced by sex stereotypes. It suggests that discrimination based on gender may stem from societal beliefs about childcare responsibilities. The research shows that these stereotypes can lead to unequal distribution of childcare duties between men and women, affecting their opportunities in the labor market.
