| Tiivistelmä: | This study investigates how children and the existence and potential earnings of husbands affect womens employment patterns in West Germany, East Germany and Poland. Specifically it analyses if employment patterns in East Germany and Poland are similar to the patterns that existed West Germany after the socialist regime collapsed. The findings reveal that the young children have the most depressing effect on female labour supply in West Germany. As expected husbands income has a negative impact on female labour supply, especially in West Germany. The female employment patterns in post-socialist Poland and East Germany differ from those of West Germany where the adjustments made by women are minimal and only concentrated on to adjust their behaviour to changing structural conditions. |
