Abstract

En este artículo se estudia el comportamiento laboral de las mujeres en el entorno de tiempo que rodea el nacimiento de un hijo en España. El análisis está basado en la estimación de modelos de duración en tiempo discreto usando datos de la Encuesta de Población Activa (EPA). Los resultados indican que las mujeres paradas, las que ocupan peores empleos y las que poseen menor capital humano son las que tienden en mayor media a cambiar de situación laboral. Otros factores relevantes son el número de hijos, la presencia de abuelos en el hogar y la tasa de paro de la provincia. (Copyright: Fundación SEPI)
