Abstract

RESUME :Si les effets de la maternité sur l'emploi des femmes font l'objet d'un grand nombre d'études, les études consacrées aux effets de la paternité sur l'emploi des hommes sont bien moins nombreuses. Ce papier a pour objectif d'analyser l'impact de la présence de jeunes enfants sur l'emploi des parents – tant les mères que les pères – et leur implication en termes d'heures de travail et de continuité dans l'emploi dans 24 pays européens. Les résultats montrent que la maternité a un effet négatif important sur l'emploi des femmes qui se traduit en termes de temps partiel et d'inactivité dans une série de pays. En ce qui concerne les pères, les résultats sont indéterminés et diffèrent sensiblement d'un pays à un autre. En général, la paternité augmente la probabilité d'emploi mais n'a pas d'effet significatif sur le nombre d'heures de travail des hommes.
