The Effect of a Child's Sex on Support for Traditional Gender Roles
TLDR
The authors examined whether the sex of a child affects parents' beliefs about traditional gender roles and found that having a daughter (vs. having a son) causes men to reduce their support for traditional gender role, but a female child has no such effect among women, representing less than 4 percent of the size of the standard deviation of the attitude scale.Abstract:
We examine whether sex of child affects parents' beliefs about traditional gender roles. Using an improved methodological approach that explicitly analyzes the natural experiment via differences in differences, we find that having a daughter (vs. having a son) causes men to reduce their support for traditional gender roles, but a female child has no such effect among women, representing less than 4 percent of the size of the standard deviation of the attitude scale.read more
