This article investigates the relationship between labor force transitions and becoming a mother in the early twentieth century. It aims to answer the question: did women start industrial homework when they had their first child? The empirical material consists of 588 interviews made with individual industrial homeworkers in 1911. Event history models were used to analyze the data. The study found that many of the industrial homeworkers did start around the time they had their first child. The results thus suggest that in the early twentieth century, having a child did not always imply making a labor force transition out of the labor force but could also imply making a labor force transition to flexible types of employment, just as it often does today.

针和婴儿床：在20世纪初成为瑞典的第一位母亲并开始工业作业

本文研究了二十世纪初期劳动力转型与成为母亲之间的关系。它旨在回答这个问题：妇女在生下第一个孩子时是否开始从事工业作业？经验材料包括1911年对个别工业家庭工人进行的588次访谈。事件历史模型用于分析数据。研究发现，许多工业家庭工人确实在他们第一个孩子的时候开始工作。结果表明，在二十世纪初，生孩子并不总是意味着劳动力从劳动力中过渡出来，但是也可能意味着劳动力向灵活的就业类型中过渡，就像今天经常发生的那样。
