Tammy Lee is a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on how workplace policies and social norms shape fertility behavior, intra-household labor supply, and gender equity in labor markets. Her current projects examine the effects of a corporate paternity leave mandate in South Korea, how beliefs about the career costs of childbearing influence women’s fertility intentions, and the impact of onsite childcare requirements on firm-level wage differentials. As a Korean woman trained in both Korea and the U.S., she brings a comparative perspective to the study of gender, work, and family. She expects to complete her Ph.D. in 2026.
