dc.description.abstractWe analyze the impact of family-friendly policies on women?s career breaks due to childbirthin Denmark and Sweden. In both countries, the labour force attachment of mothers is high,and more than 90% of the women return to work after childbirth. Sweden and Denmark areculturally similar and share the same type of welfare state ideology, but differ remarkably inpursued family policies. The impact of family policy variables on the probability of returning tothe labour market is estimated using a duration model approach. Our results show thateconomic incentives and leave periods of the fathers affect the behaviour of mothers in bothcountries. However, family policy instruments are found to have a much larger impact onSwedish mothers? behaviour compared to Danish women. We explain this finding by the factthat family-friendly policies in Sweden have focused much more on flexible leave schemesand on the shared responsibilities of the parents than in Denmark.en
