"This paper investigates the labor market behavior of women in Austria around their first
childbirth. By analyzing Austrian FFS data of women who gave birth to their first child from
1960 to 1993 respectively 1996 and using logistic regression, the odds of interrupting employment
and the odds of (re-)entering the labor market within three years are examined.
Family policy and especially parental leave mandates are supposed to highly influence
women’s employment behavior. Therefore, besides human capital and socio-demographic
variables, the effect of parental leave eligibility and the potential leave duration are of special
interest regarding the reentry decision. As will be shown below, mothers entitled to paid parental
leave are more likely to interrupt employment, and the extension of leave duration over
past decades has increased the odds of being employed three years after childbirth."[author´s abstract]... view less
