Public lecture within the habilitation procedure in the field of Economics of applicant Lukáš Lafférs (The Faculty of Natural Sciences of Matej Bel University in Banska Bystrica).
Topic: Mothers' Jobs Search after Childbirth and Earnings
We show that mothers exhibit high job mobility after childbirth with important implications for their future career trajectories. Using a bounding approach and Austrian administrative data we find that changing jobs after childbirth increases re-employment earnings but only for mothers at the upper part of the earnings distribution. Changing jobs has very persistent effects and narrows the earnings gap with the partner. The positive effects are caused by these mothers moving to faster growing firms offering better career opportunities to women even if this requires longer commuting. We highlight that high mobility costs preclude more mothers from moving to better employment opportunities.
The lecture will be in a hybrid format. We encourage you to attend in person (ECON MUNI large meeting room, 2nd floor, room nr. 215), however it's possible to join online through MS Teams.
