abstract: 'This paper examines how motherhood is associated with occupational

  segregation, paying careful attention to how motherhood affects labor

  force withdrawal in ways that may obscure its relevance for occupational

  segregation. Using data on eleven countries from the Luxembourg Income

  Study (2000-2007), we find that mothers are more likely than childless

  women to be out of the labor force and both over- and under-represented

  in certain occupations. Variation in mothers'' occupational segregation

  across countries is consistent with expectations derived from

  theoretical arguments about how states reconcile, or fail to reconcile,

  women''s employment and motherhood.'
