| Abstract: | Using unique administrative data from the state of Georgia, this paper investigates women’s decisions to exit the labor market
upon the birth of a child. Exits rates and their changes over time varies dramatically between married and single women giving
birth. Only the pattern among single, less educated women can be considered consistent with changing labor force participation
rates of women over the period of analysis. Potential policy implications of these changes are discussed. |
