N2 - We study the role of fertility adjustments for the labor market responsiveness ofmen and women. First, we use longitudinal Danish register data and tax reformsfrom 2009 to provide new empirical evidence on asymmetric fertility adjustmentsto tax changes of men and women. Second, we quantify the importance of thesefertility adjustments for understanding the labor supply responsiveness of couplesthrough a life-cycle model of family labor supply and fertility. Allowing fertilityadjustments increases the labor supply responsiveness of women by 28%. Theseadjustments affect human capital accumulation and has permanent implications forthe gender wage gap within couples
