Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of motherhood on the engagement of women in the labor market. To deal with the endogeneity inherent to the relation children-engagement, the event of 'stillborn' was used as an instrument to fertility. In addition to the traditional estimation methods, matching methods were also considered. The results obtained indicate that motherhood has a negative effect on women participation on the labor market. This impact seems not to vary with the number of children and tends to reduce in the 'long run'. The estimates show too that women with no children work more than women that have children. The differential varies with the number of children and is bigger in the long run - different results are obtained if compared with estimates about participation. Finally, the results indicate that motherhood does not affect the wage-hour in the long run.
