Abstract
This paper compares social policies in Sweden and Japan to assess how differences in the policy environment can affect women's labour force participation rates and consequently their fertility rates. The degree of egalitarianism in a society affects levels of female labour force participation after the birth of a first child as well as the level of public policy support that exists for women to combine work and motherhood.
