A Look at Mothers and Smokers in the Workplace

According to a study conducted by two sociologists from Cornell University, mothers suffer more when competing with equally skilled/experienced fathers and childless men and women in the job market. They presume that this “maternal penalty” could be the glass ceiling that most women face in the workplace.

Another noteworthy report was presented by two economists from Barnard and Columbia provides plausible bases why most smokers, in terms of career advancement, do not progress to the same degree as nonsmokers. The study presents that smokers’ putting more value to present enjoyment over the future costs of their lifestyle translates to their having a higher discount rate, which makes them less willing to make (long-term) investments, including investments in their health.
