摘要：This study investigates how the rst childbirth a¤ects the wage processes of women who are well-established in the labour market. We estimate a exible xed-e¤ects wage regression model extended by post-childbirth xed e¤ects. We use register data on West Germany and exploit the expansionary family policy during the late 1980s and 1990s for identication. On their return to work after childbirth, motherswages drop by 3 to 5.7 per cent per year of leave. We nd negative selection back to full-time work after childbirth. We discuss policy implications regarding statistical discrimination and results concerning the family gap.
