Without going through the full paper, a good way to get a bit more out of your IV-LATE is to do a complier characterization. This allows us to consider aggregate implications for gender gaps at late working age due to intergenerational care arrangements. @TertiltMichele @mdoepke
Interesting trade-offs: Grandmothers leaving employment to care for grandchildren probably allow their daughters to remain employed, basically shifting the gender gap to later age, with potential effects on pension inequality. Childcare outside of the family as potential fix.
