Abstract

The decision by women with children to be active on the labour market is determined, to a large extent, by the preferences of the woman and her partner. This paper pays special attention to professional motivation, on the one hand, and to the desire to have children, on the other hand. Using survey data for young married women, the relation between professional activities and the desire for children is examined further and reported on in this chapter.
