Childbirth and Maternal Employment: Data from a National Longitudinal Survey

This chapter explores the relationship between maternal employment around the time of childbirth and the socioeconomic characteristics of women and their families. Research is based on the NLSY, a nationally representative sample which contains many ethnic minorities and poor mothers, so data analysis systematically evaluates ethnicity and income as predictors of maternal employment behavior. Special attention focuses on the reincorporation of mothers with infants into the labor force in order to highlight the overlap between parental leave and childcare policies. The conclusion emphasizes the differential impacts of alternative policies on disadvantaged groups and illustrates the merits of a comprehensive work and family policy. The NLS data are also used to provide a conservative estimate of the proportion of mothers who would be covered if international norms for maternal leave were applicable in the United States.
