Cool Data Alert: Child Penalties Across Countries

The website describes it like this: "The Child Penalty Atlas maps how the arrival of a child affects the careers of men and women across the globe." I recommend playing with the map a bit. You can see for most countries in the world, the child penalty in employment, the gender gap in employment, and the fraction of the gender employment gap explained by the child penalty.

How many new papers idea using these data can you come up with? 1-2-3, go! (UConn students, feel free to come discuss your ideas with me). 

Here is the website: https://childpenaltyatlas.org/.
