How Do Policy Regimes Foster (Wo)men’s Work-Family Preferences as Reflected in Parental Leave Decisions?
Isabel M. Habicht is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wuppertal. Her research interests lie in the field of gender inequality and work-family dynamics. Habicht’s current research focuses on the intersection of labor market structures and family decisions, with a particular emphasis on work-family trade-offs in parental leave decisions.
At the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Habicht will investigate social norms across countries with varying family policies, labor market structures, and work-family reconciliation practices. The project aims to explore the interplay between individual behavior, family dynamics, historical shifts, and policies addressing gender inequality in contemporary societies.
Habicht completed her Ph.D. in sociology at the University of Wuppertal, where she studied gender differences in academic career tracks.
