Gender differences in research productivity are well documented, and havebeen mostly explained by access parental leave and child-relatedresponsibilities. Those explanations are based on the assumption that womentake on the majority of childcare responsibilities, and take the same level ofleave at the birth of a child. Changing social dynamics around parenting hasseen fathers increasingly take an active role in parenting. This demands a morenuanced approach to understanding how parenting affects both men and women.Using a global survey of 11,226 academic parents, this study investigates theeffect of parental engagement (Lead, Dual (shared), and Satellite parenting),and partner type, on measures of research productivity and impact for men andfor women. It also analyzes the effect of different levels of parental leave onacademic productivity. Results show that the parenting penalty for men andwomen is a function of the level of engagement in parenting activities. Men whoserve in lead roles suffer similar penalties, but women are more likely toserve in lead parenting roles and to be more engaged across time and tasks.Taking a period of parental leave is associated with higher levels ofproductivity, however the productivity advantage is lost for the US-sample at 6months, and at 12-months for the non-US sample. These results suggest thatparental engagement is a more powerful variable to explain gender differencesin academic productivity than the mere existence of children, and that policiesshould that factor into account.
