The bias of omission of the family quotient in the alleged gender-based tax inequality
In their book entitled The Gender of Capital. How the Family Reproduces Inequalities, sociologists Céline Bessière and Sibylle Gollac address in a box what they call "A Sexist Unthought: The Taxation of Child Support." The two researchers deplore the fact that "the taxation of child support in France does not contribute to reducing economic inequality between men and women following a separation, quite the contrary!" But an ongoing review of French taxation refutes their activist hypothesis.
