Intervalo de 10 años para tener hijos sería clave en brecha salarial de género

The video discusses the earnings gap between mothers and fathers, highlighting how it widens during the prime childbearing years of 25 to 35. The gap is less pronounced for women who have children outside this window. Additional children further slow recovery of mothers' earnings, while fathers' earnings remain largely unaffected. Historical trends show the gap was smaller in the 90s but has widened recently. Lower-income women tend to return to work sooner, while higher-income women often leave the workforce. Technology and expanded maternity leave could help mitigate the gap.
