Notes: The figure decomposes the overall gender gap in earnings for individuals with <strong>and</strong> without children. Note that<br />
we do not observe the presence of children older than 18 or children who have left home, implying that older workers<br />
may be recorded as childless even though they are in fact parents. For this reason, we focus on the age range 16-40 in<br />
which this measurement problem is minimal. Panel A reproduces Figure 1 panel A for the sample of 16-40 year olds.<br />
Panel B (resp. panel C) follows the same methodology, restricting the sample to the16-40 year olds without children<br />
(resp. with children).<br />
