Chhavi is currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher in WORKLIFE project at Institut national d’études démographiques (INED), Paris. The aim of the project which is to study (1) the impact of non-standard working hours on fertility, conjugality and gender inequalities, (2) and the role of employers in the choices made by employees (postponing births, going part-time, etc.).
