Abstract: | The effects of childbearing and work sector on women's hours and earnings in the 8 years following an index pregnancy were
examined in a cohort of more than 2,000 women in the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey. Change in cash earnings
and hours worked were each modeled jointly with sector of labor force participation using an estimation strategy that deals
with endogeneity of childbearing decisions and selectivity into sector of work. Two or more additional children born in the
8 year interval significantly reduced women's earnings, while having an additional child under 2 years of age in 1991 reduced
hours worked.
