This article examines women’s employment patterns during the child-rearing period and the consequences of those patterns for earnings later in life, in 12 industralized countries. This study proposes an analytic framework that combines “welfare regime” and genderspecific policies to explain country differences. The findings presented here suggest that institutional arrangements mediate the costs to women’s part-time and intermittent employment.Within welfare regimes, employment continuity is highest among countries in which the state provides support for working mothers. Furthermore, this study finds that lower support for mothers’ employment is associated with higher wage penalties to employment discontinuity.
