DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Job Search and Mobility Over the Life Cycle: Childbirth and Women’s Careers
 \n\n\nAbstract:\nWe document using Dutch administrative and survey data tha
 t women’s job mobility drops around childbirth. Women make fewer job-to-job
  transitions starting one year before birth until many years after. They ar
 e also less likely to engage in on-the-job search and work in jobs with low
  amenities related to irregular hours. We develop a life-cycle labor supply
 , job search and job switching model for women in which mothers and pregnan
 t women face higher search and switching costs. Jobs are characterized as b
 undles of wages and amenities, the latter decrease work disutility. We use 
 the model to quantify a novel channel through which the child penalty opera
 tes: because (expecting) mothers perform less job search and switching, the
 y remain in jobs with low wages and amenities, therefore working and earnin
 g less. Search and switching costs related to childbirth reduce lifetime ea
 rnings by 7.7%, accounting for 21% of the child penalty. We validate our mo
 del with a recent reform which eliminated tenure requirements for parental 
 leave. Mothers increased job switching before birth but decreased employmen
 t in the year of birth.\n
