Summary note
"Landivar addresses the motivations and economic outcomes of women who choose to leave their jobs and care for their children full-time. She shows that the motherhood wage gap is not equal across occupations. She compares employment patterns and childcare choices among lower-paid workers and higher-paid professionals, looking at factors such as work hours, earnings, race, ethnicity, educational attainment, and children{u2019}s ages. She demonstrates that women in higher-paid managerial and professional occupations are more likely to remain employed when they have young children. The book contains about 20 pages of statistical appendices on occupation categories, fathers and child care, and women{u2019}s earnings."--Provided by publisher.
