Sabbaticals also hurt careers. You don't get a raise and a bonus for being away 1 year when you are 25-30.
This affects negatively many future years of income, because your future prospects are affected by your current job.

I was responding to the notion that this was "retirement", and unique to the woman. > You don't get a raise and a bonus for being away 1 year when you are 25-30. People take parental leave for weeks (6-8 is typical), not a year.
- eveningcoffee 10y agoThis is a strange position. On average every person should raise a family for the continuation of the humankind. Therefore this should affect everyone equally.
- true_religion 10y agoOn average it affects all women equally because women are physically affected by the specifics of having babies. However, some men just choose to sacrifice their family life instead of lowering their pay rate one iota. So you should see an effect on family income but divergences in gendered income.
