abstract: 'This paper explores gender differences in the career paths of immigrant

  and native parents before and after childbirth using Spanish

  administrative data and an event study specification. I find an

  important gender pay gap emerging after childbirth for both immigrants

  and natives, and that the drivers of these gender pay gaps strongly

  differ between natives and immigrants: while children generate higher

  gender gaps in labour participation and part-time work for natives, the

  gender gaps in employment and permanent employment are greater for

  immigrants. I investigate whether the deterioration of mothers'' careers

  originates from workers'' or employers'' decisions, and show that the main

  reason for native mothers is to temporarily stop working, while for

  immigrant mothers is being dismissed. Finally, I show that the

  educational background of parents is an important determinant of the

  native-immigrant differences I find in the effect of children on the

  gender pay gap, while the cultural background is not. (C) 2021 Elsevier
