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.'
