| Abstract: | This article examines mothersÂ’ leave-taking behaviour in the period from 1974 to 2000 and the relationship between family leave length and the transition rate to an upward career move upon return to work. Data from the Swedish Level of Living Survey of 1991 and 2000 is employed. The findings show that women with leaves of 16 months or more were less likely to achieve upward occupational development once back on the job. In a multilevel, multiprocess model including terms for unobserved heterogeneity, it is concluded that after controlling for selectivity into different parental leave length, it is found a negative effect of time out on later career moves. |
