To be a Mother, or not to be? Career and Wage Ladder in Italy and the UK

Abstract(summary):

This paper examines the extent to which motherhood affects women's career ac- complishments and wages in Italy and the UK. Using the EU-SILC 2009 data, a de- composition of the motherhood wage gap is implemented after accounting for double selection in labor market participation and motherhood. We find a negative correla- tion between labor market and fertility decisions. Motherhood has no adverse effects on women's career path in Italy and that job segregation explains most of the mother- hood wage gap in the UK. Empirical findings suggest that the timing of motherhood and job continuity affect significantly the female wage profile.
