For many women in the U.S. and around the world, motherhood comes with career costs. Raising children tends to lead to lower wages and fewer work hours for mothers - but not fathers - in the United States and around the world. As a sociologist, I study how family relationships can shape your economic circumstances. In the past, I've studied how motherhood tends to depress women's wages, something social scientists call the " motherhood penalty."

You know what is at stake. Whether I will continue to be your prime minister depends on how strong a mandate you give the Social Democrats in the parliamentary election to be held on March 24th, 2026. It will now be up to you, the voters, to decide which direction will be set for Denmark for the next four years, and I am really looking forward to it.
