Female labour supply has increased substantially over the past century. Consequently, more women and men have observed their mother employed which may affect their own labour supply. In this paper, I exploit a tax reform which stimulated labour supply among women with low labour force attachment.
Mothers directly affected by the reform increased their labour supply. However, daughters of these women reduce their labour supply and are more likely to have kids and be married. I do not find any effects on the labour supply or fertility of sons. Hence, my results show that a reform which stimulated maternal labour supply can have unintended negative effects on the labour supply of their daughters.
