Ironically, having a child is likely the best possible response to have for why you have a year gap in employment. For the all-male resumes used in this experiment, hr and hiring managers would be more likely to assume the gap was due to work-related reasons (lazy, unskilled, unintelligent, etc) as opposed to the socially accepted and positive reason of childbirth.
- tptacek 14y agoIs this an analysis the experiment actually did, or your presumption about how hiring managers view time taken off for child care?
- loup-vaillant 14y agoThe experiment only tested male resumes. So, no, it did not perform this analysis. Personally, I'm not sure what to expect if we changed the gender.
