内容简介：This paper studies the nexus among fertility, family structure, and gender income equality. I document a novel three-way trade-off in the data: simultaneously achieving high fertility, low single parenthood, and gender income equality is unlikely at all levels of economic development. I develop a unified theory in which this trade-off arises endogenously in equilibrium.  Among various policy instruments, reducing women's child-rearing costs stands out as the unique one that mitigates the trade-off, but the policy costs grow as productivity increases. Calibrating the model to Mexico's experience from 1990 to 2015, I quantify the effects of gender-neutral versus gender-biased productivity growth.
