SUMMARY:Bonn Applied Micro Seminar: Hanna Wang\, “Job Search and Mobility
  Over the Life-Cycle: Implications for the Child Penalty”
DESCRIPTION:Minji Bang and Hanna Wang:\n“Job Search and Mobility Over the
  Life-Cycle: Implications for the Child Penalty”\n\nWe document using Du
 tch administrative and survey data that women’s job mobility drops aroun
 d childbirth. Women make fewer job-to-job transitions starting one year be
 fore birth until many years after. They are 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 switchi
 ng model for women in which mothers and pregnant women face higher search 
 costs. Jobs are characterized as bundles of wages and amenities\, the latt
 er decrease work disutility. We use the model to quantify a novel channel
  through which the child penalty operates: because (expecting) mothers per
 form less job search\, they remain in jobs with low wages and amenities\, 
 therefore working and earning less. Search costs related to childbirth red
 uce lifetime earnings by 10.1%\, accounting for 33.7% of the child penalty
 . We validate our model with a recent reform which eliminated tenure requ
 irements for parental leave. Mothers increased job switching before birth 
 but decreased employment in the year of birth.
