\nTitle:\u00a0 The Employer\u2019s Role in Encouraging Mothers\u2019 Uptake of Family-Friendly Programs and Employment
\nAbstract:
\nIn 2005, a unique policy was introduced in Japan requiring large firms to formulate an action plan to develop and enhance their company-specific childcare-related programs. Using panel-structured data and a Difference-in-Differences (DD) framework, this study explores whether this policy intervention in private companies has led to any substantial increase in the exercise of workers\u2019 rights, including maternity and parental leave, maternal employment and fertility. We find that the policy has had many positive effects, including increasing the uptake of maternity and parental leave by working mothers, who were also more likely to work and to be employed as regular employees after the birth of their first child. However, we found no effect on the decision to have additional children. These results show that firms play an important (mediating) role in promoting governmental family-friendly policies, but these efforts do not necessarily solve the demographic challenges.

2nd Session: 16:45-18:15
\nSpeaker: Robert Dur, Erasmus University Rotterdam
\nLanguage: English
\nTitle: \u00a0Tax Misperceptions and Labor Supply
\nAbstract:
\nIncome tax systems tend to be quite complicated. As a result, it can be difficult for people to correctly assess their effective marginal tax rate. Misperceptions about the effective marginal tax rates could lead to inefficient labor supply decisions, with some people working too few hours and others working too many. We conducted a two-wave survey experiment in the Netherlands to better understand what misperceptions people have and whether addressing those misperceptions can influence their labor supply decisions. In one treatment, we provide information on the modal effective marginal tax rates in three different income brackets. In another treatment, we encourage people to use a free online tool to calculate their personal effective marginal tax rate. In the third treatment, we combine the two treatments. Our findings show that people with relatively low gross income tend to overestimate the effective marginal tax rate, while higher incomes tend to underestimate. We find that providing information increases labor supply two months later by about 1,5 hours per week among those who initially overestimate the effective marginal tax rate. For each percentage point decrease in the perceived effective marginal tax rate, labor supply increases by about 15 minutes per week.
