This working paper examines if childhood environments affect boys or girls differently, and particularly whether the conditions in which they grew up has made a long-term impact on gender gaps in adult employment.
This new campaign seeks to recruit men in the pursuit of equality. HeForShe is a solidarity movement for gender equality that brings together one half of humanity in support of the other of humanity, for the entirety of humanity.For most readers, the idea of biological gender differences is not problematic. They take a
middle view – that gender is a factor, but not a deciding factor – in who our kids are and
how to raise them well.
Occasionally though, someone takes issue with the very idea of treating the genders
differently. (Or having books addressing one gender or the other.) For the most part, I
would agree: children are children, and much of parenting is the same regardless of a
child’s sex.
