ABSTRACT

This article analyses the main factors that determined the employment situation of mothers and women in Spain in 2014 and 2018, distinguishing between full-time employment, part-time employment, underemployment due to insufficient hours and unemployment. The results for Spain, obtained by using a novel methodology that improves on previous models, contradict several theoretical arguments on the determinants of maternal employment. Moreover, the simulation conducted also shows that when the partner is employed, mothers are more likely to work in part-time jobs (to balance work and family life), and that women without children are more likely to work full time.

摘要

本文分析了 2014 年和 2018 年决定西班牙母亲和妇女就业状况的主要因素，区分了全职就业、兼职就业、因工时不足导致的就业不足和失业。西班牙的结果是通过使用一种改进了先前模型的新方法获得的，与关于产妇就业决定因素的几个理论论点相矛盾。此外，进行的模拟还表明，当伴侣有工作时，母亲更有可能从事兼职工作（以平衡工作和家庭生活），而没有孩子的女性更有可能从事全职工作。
