We hypothesize \nthat the education production for boys is more adversely affected by a decrease in parental time \ninput as a result of increasing maternal employment or parental absence. Therefore, a pronounced \nincrease in the labor force participation rate of married women as well as the rising incidence of \nabsent fathers may narrow and even reverse the educational gender gap in the child generation. We \nuse micro data from the Norwegian registry to directly show that the parental employment during \ntheir children�s childhood has an asymmetric effect on the educational achievement of their own \nsons and daughters. We also document a positive correlation between the educational gender gap \nin a particular generation and the LFPR of married women in the mother generation as well as the \nincidence of parental absence (mostly absence of fathers) at the U.S. state level. We then propose a \nmodel that generates a novel prediction about the implications of these asymmetric effects on parental \nlabor supply decisions and find supporting evidence in both the U.S. and Norwegian data.
