The European Union's aim for higher female participation rates will primarily be reached through re-entry. This article analyses the re-entrants' motives, re-entry chances and its impact on wages for the Netherlands, using three data sets. The ending of the motherhood role is the most referred motive. Financial motives are cited by re-entrants with short interruptions. Significant positive factors for re-entry chances are the presence of teenage children, an age up to 45 and a high education. A negative factor is the condition of working locally. OLS regressions reveal that being a re-entrant has a large negative effect on women's wages, and so has each extra year of a career break.
