As with all preliminary research findings, this finding (reported here in a blog post from early 2011) needs replication before we can be sure it is reliable fact about the world. http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html As a father of three boys before I had my daughter, I really, truly desired to have a daughter in part to improve the "consciousness-raising" environment in my home both for myself and for my three boys. Perhaps I really have had a little bit of "male chauvinist pig" thinking on my own part counteracted by observing my daughter grow up at home. (My wife, on her part, grew up with four older brothers and only one (older) sister in her birth family, and she finds it very easy to take the male point of view.) What exactly could be done about this from the public policy point of view? Family sizes are smaller than ever--which means that some CEOs have only daughters, and no sons, but other CEOs who have children have only sons, and will not go out of their way to have daughters just to balance their parenting experience. Other than differences in family structure, which thus far are usually haphazard more than planned, it's not completely clear what life experiences can be provided to the current generation of business leaders or the next generation of young people growing up to make sure that they have a balanced view (and what would that be?) about the roles of men and women in the society of the future.
