Abstract:

In this study, we examine various factors affecting married womens employment discontinuity in the context of their life course by using an event history analysis. This paper categorize five groups of independent variables demographic, human capital, structural, life course, and historical - and test eight hypotheses related to three questions: (1) What factors mainly influence married womens labor force withdrawal, especially those related to human capital and labor market conditions? (2) What relationship do life course events such as childbirth and childrearing have on womens work-family conflict? (3) Did the economic crisis in 1997 have a significant effect on Korean womens career discontinuity? The findings are as follows. (1) The structural variables of the labor market have more consistent effects on transition rates than human capital variables. (2) Childbirth and childrearing have a strong negative relationship to the probability of women remaining in the labor market, with women likely to strategically control the timing of childbirth in order to minimize work-family conflict. (3) Since the economic crisis, women have tended to continue to participate in the labor force at higher rate. These findings provide some clues for discovering the micro mechanisms of current low fertility rates and subsequent policy implications.
