Abstract
We use rich administrative data from Denmark to study how families’ fertility and career investment decisions interact with firms’ on-the-job training to explain gender gaps in reaching top career positions. Our main contribution to the literature is to demonstrate that gender gaps in career success are jointly determined by the career investments decisions made within the family and by the decision of firms to train selected workers to reach top positions. Our ultimate goal is to evaluate which policies are effective to induce more investments on women’s careers within the family to incentivize firms to promote more women.
