Family-friendly Benefits and Full-time Working Mothers' Labor Force Persistence Community, Work and Family 21,2 (March 2018): 168-192.

Prior research assumes that family-friendly benefits have a similar effect on mothers' persistence in full-time work across parity. However, there is evidence that the transitions to first-time and second-time motherhood are qualitatively, as well as quantitatively, different experiences. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79), we investigate women's labor force status (full-time, part-time, and not working) after both parity transitions among women who were working in the labor force full-time prior to the birth of their first child. We find that mothers often persist in the same labor force status after the birth of their second child that they held after the birth of their first child, but there is wide variability in labor force and parity pathways. In addition, a wider array of family-friendly benefits is associated with second-time mothers' full-time work than first-time mothers. |
