Youngjoo Cha studies how work, family life, and workplace policies shape gender inequality, particularly the gap in pay between women and men. Recent work examines topics such as parental leave, overwork and long working hours, flexible work arrangements, and the wage penalties or premiums tied to parenthood, often comparing countries like the United States, South Korea, and Germany. The research also touches on employment discrimination and workplace diversity.
