Garder son emploi, garder ses enfants : une analyse par catégorie sociale

Abstract

Factors affecting women's employment in France are explored. In particular, "the author examines how working time may be adjusted according to the socio-occupational category of the mother. Recent French data allow for the identification of those occupations where women have a lower risk to discontinue their activity. The author investigates whether these occupations allow for a time-schedule and working conditions better adapted to family requirements or whether mothers with these occupations have at their disposal more possibilities to find a substitute for maternal care and help in housekeeping activities."
