abstract: 'Using data from the Swiss Household Panel (1999-2012) and the German
Socio-Economic Panel (1994-2010), this paper compares the impact of
mothers'' education and her partners'' income on maternal employment
within the second to the fourth year after childbirth in Switzerland and
West Germany. The broadly similar institutional context in the two
countries makes for a more controlled and narrower comparison. Around
the turn of the millennium, both family-policy regimes did little to
foster dual-earner families. However, they differed in their support for
families'' caring role (familialistic policies), with West Germany being
much more generous. It is expected that these familialistic policies
widen the educational gap in maternal employment, by selectively
encouraging less-educated mothers to stay at home. Moreover, they are
also expected to lower the economic pressure on low-income families to
have a second income, thus diminishing the impact of partners'' income.
Results confirm this expectation only within the fourth year after
childbirth but not within the years before. This is somehow surprising,
as central country-differences with respect to familialistic policies
refer to the first three years after childbirth.'
