1. Motherhood is still associated with lower employment rates among women.
2. Family policies matter: paid leave facilitates the employment of mothers, but family allowances stimulate the traditional breadwinner model.
3. Work-Family reconciliation policies are most important to stimulate the employment of women with traditional gender role attitudes.
4. Women’s Employment matters: Their earnings reduce income inequality among coupled households
5. Women’s Employment matters: Their earnings reduce single mother poverty
