Weekend Fun Fact:
After tracking every worker and single-manager firm in Denmark between 1992-2007, researchers found when male managers had a first-born daughter, women’s earnings rose 4.1% compared to males, and women employed at the firm rose by 4.5%. Sons and subsequent daughters made no difference. Gains came from new hires and promotions, not pay raises for existing women. Firm performance didn’t improve, suggesting men and women are equally qualified.
