“…The transition to parenthood is a major life-course transition that (i) is experienced sooner or later by a majority of people and (ii) has a transformative effect on people's lives by shifting goals, identity and resources such as time and income. Additionally, sociological research has demonstrated that the transition to parenthood is associated with the onset of gender inequalities in, amongst others, paid and unpaid work, leisure and sleep time, and mental health (Baxter et al 2008;Budig and England 2001;Craig and Mullan 2013;Kaufman and Uhlenberg 2000;Singley and Hynes 2005;Wheaton 1990). …”

“…The earning and allocation of household income is still gendered (Baxter et al 2008;Himmelweit 2002;Stotsky 1996, p. 14), and studies of gendered spending patterns over the past 20 years have consistently shown that household finances should not be regarded as pooled funds (see, for example, Sonnenberg et al 2011). A gender impact analysis of intra-household finances will examine not only who earns the money, but how financial resources are managed and controlled.…”

Tax, Social Policy and Gender: Rethinking Equality and Efficiency

This chapter applies a human rights framework to gender inequality in tax policy. Gender inequality in economic reform is a global issue. In its recent report, Progress of the World's Women (the UN Report), UN (United Nations) Women applies international human rights standards to assess laws and policies for substantive gender equality (UN Women 2015). The UN Report confirms that women's rights cannot and should not be separated from general principles of social and economic justice, and macro-economic and fiscal policy should not be designed in isolation from a human rights agenda; on the contrary, human rights should be one of the drivers of economic reform (UN Women 2015, p. 26).UN Women is the UN entity responsible for promoting women's empowerment and gender equality. In the UN Report, UN Women advocates for a rights-based macro-economic agenda that will ensure that human rights, including the right to education and dignified employment, are protected, and are driving the process of macro-economic reform. In this chapter, we use this report as the starting point for demonstrating why a human rights framework should be used in the design of tax policy specifically. Our approach can be contrasted with approaches that focus more directly on redistributive measures. For instance, the International

The Impact of Housing Assistance on the Employment Outcomes of Labour Market Programme Participants in Australia

This paper examines whether the employment outcomes of Australian labour market programme participants vary according to whether they receive housing assistance. This issue attracted attention when a series of US studies showed that clients of welfare-to-work programmes are more likely to achieve positive employment outcomes if housing assistance is also received. This paper tracks the employment outcomes of labour market programme participants utilising six waves of data from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) database. Findings from a random effects model suggest that housing assistance status has little impact (either negative or positive) on employment outcomes. Differences in the institutional arrangements governing access to housing assistance could be responsible for the absence of any effect in Australia.
