Abstract

Este artículo se centra en el comportamiento laboral de la mujer en relación con la maternidad en España. Para ello se analizan las transiciones en el mercado de trabajo de las mujeres en el entorno del nacimiento de un hijo. Se realiza la estimación de modelos de duración en tiempo discreto utilizando datos de la EPA enlazada. Las transiciones relevantes son las que tienen lugar durante el embarazo y a lo largo del primer año de vida del niño. Se comprueba que son las mujeres menos arraigadas en el mercado de trabajo las que presentan una mayor volatilidad en su situación laboral, en particular las mujeres paradas, las que tienen empleos inestables o de corta duración y las que gozan de menor capital humano. Otros factores que influyen sobre las transiciones laborales de las mujeres en el entorno del nacimiento de un hijo son el tamaño familiar, la presencia de abuelos en el hogar y las condiciones del mercado de trabajo local.
