Overview

This observational analysis shows employment changes linked to childbearing in female immigrants across the UK, France, and Germany, indicating critical insights for immigration policies.

Key Points

  • Mothers are more likely to exit employment than childless women, highlighting the impact of childbearing on female employment.
  • Event history models reveal that European and Western immigrants experience better employment re-entry compared to those from non-European countries.
  • The descendants of immigrants show higher employment levels than their parents, yet they still face disadvantages compared to native populations.
  • Differences in employment exit among mothers vary by country, with Germany showing the highest exit rates and France the lowest.
