| Abstract | In this paper, we look into how country-specific factors shape the interrelationship between childbearing and women’s labor supply. To this end, we compare Italy and Poland, two low-fertility countries where the country-specific obstacles to work and family reconciliation are similarly strong but which differ in the history of women’s labor supply and the extent to which couples’ material aspirations are satisfied by men’s earnings. Our findings show that women’s employment clearly conflicts with childbearing in Italy, while in Poland women tend to combine the two activities, despite the similar difficulties they face. These results challenged the standard microeconomic explanations and point to the importance of other country-specific factors, apart from conditions for work and family reconciliation, in shaping women’s employment and fertility decisions, such as economic incentives or culturally rooted behavioral patterns. Overall, our study provides thus foundations for explaining the variation in the relationship between women’s employment and fertility in an enlarged Europe.Cet article étudie comment des contextes nationaux spécifiques façonnent les relations entre la procréation et l’offre de main d’œuvre féminine. Dans ce but, nous comparons l’Italie et la Pologne, deux pays ayant des faibles niveaux de fécondité, avec pour chacun d’eux d’importants obstacles liés au contexte national allant à l’encontre de la conciliation famille- travail, mais qui diffèrent quant à l’histoire de l’offre de main d’œuvre féminine et sur la façon dont les aspirations matérielles du couple sont couvertes par le salaire de l’homme. Les résultats montrent qu’en Italie l’emploi des femmes entre clairement en conflit avec la procréation, alors qu’en Pologne les femmes essayent de combiner ces deux « activités » bien qu’elles aient à faire face à des difficultés semblables. Ces résultats remettent en question les explications micro-économiques classiques et montrent que, outre les conditions de conciliation famille—travail, des facteurs propres à chaque pays, tels que des incitants économiques ou des schémas de comportements culturellement enracinés, vont jouer un rôle important dans les décisions de fécondité et de participation des femmes au marché du travail. Notre étude fournit ainsi quelques bases pour expliquer les variations de la relation entre emploi des femmes et fécondité dans l’Europe élargie. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
