Some studies suggest that family policies can promote gender equality by addressing husband premia and supporting public policies, while other studies indicate that these policies may have limited impact on caregiving roles, exacerbate occupational inequality, and reinforce traditional gender roles.
Family policies play a crucial role in shaping gender equality, particularly in the labor market and within households. These policies can influence wage gaps, caregiving responsibilities, and overall economic opportunities for men and women. This synthesis examines the impact of various family policies on gender inequality, drawing insights from multiple research studies.

Family policies have a complex and multifaceted impact on gender inequality. While some policies have successfully reduced wage gaps and increased women's participation in the workforce, they often fail to address deeper occupational inequalities and caregiving responsibilities. Additionally, personal family experiences, such as fathering daughters, can influence support for gender-equality policies. To effectively reduce gender inequality, family policies must consider the diverse socioeconomic and cultural contexts that shape gender roles and responsibilities.
