The paper finds evidence that having daughters makes people more sympathetic to left-wing parties. Acquiring sons, by contrast, makes individuals more right wing. Ceteris paribus, in our panel data, every extra daughter (or son) leads a person to be approximately 2 percentage points more likely to vote left (or right). Our data come principally from Great Britain, but we show that the basic result can be replicated for German microdata.

Thats understandable. With daughters you quickly start thinking about maternity leaves, cheap child care, and all the rest left things
