abstract: 'This paper provides a narrative review of the literature that addresses
the connection between women''s reproductive health and women''s economic
activity. Women''s reproductive health, gender equality and decent work,
are all part of the Sustainable Development Goals and this review
highlights how these Goals are interconnected. The review focuses on the
relationship between fertility and women''s work and provides a detailed
discussion of the academic literature that identifies the causal effect
of fertility on changes in female labor force participation. Fertility
is captured by timing, spacing and number of chil-dren, and career
advancement, job quality, and hours worked are addressed on the work
side. The review contrasts the fertility-work nexus for low-, middle-and
high-income countries separately, recognizing national income per capita
as a moderator of the effect of fertility on female labor force
participation. In low-income countries, where labor force participation
is for the most part in the informal sector, women must adopt their own
strategies for balancing child rearing and labor force participation,
such as selection of job type, relying on other women in the household
for childcare, and birth spacing to limit infants in their care. In
middle-income countries, women juggle child rearing and labor force
participation with the overarching issue of income inequality, and early
childbearing and lone motherhood perpetuate poverty. For women in
high-income countries, social protection policies can assist women in
managing the balance of childrearing and work, but these policies do not
address underlying issues of gender inequality. Despite these policies,
career advancement is interrupted by childbearing. As the relationship
between fertility and women''s work varies by income per capita across
countries, polices that support women in achieving balance in their
desired family size and accessing decent work varies across countries.
