It won\u2019t come as a surprise to the mums listening to this podcast, but there\u2019s a price to pay for being a mother. Whether it\u2019s the countless extra hours of unpaid labour, losing out on a promotion because you\u2019ve got to pick the kids up from school, or even choosing to work part-time, this all has an enormous impact on lifetime earnings for Australian mothers. \n\nIn this podcast, Kat Clay interviews Natasha Bradshaw, co-author of a Treasury paper on children and the gender earnings gap, alongside Owain Emslie, Grattan senior associate, on his policy recommendations to reduce the motherhood penalty. \n\nRead the Treasury paper: https://treasury.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-10/p2022-325290-children-gender-gap.pdf\n\nRead Dad Days: https://grattan.edu.au/report/dad-days/\n\nRead Cheaper Childcare: https://grattan.edu.au/report/cheaper-childcare/\n\nDonate to Grattan: https://grattan.edu.au/donate/
