This study examines the determinants of women's return to work following the birth of their first child among white, black, and Mexican-origin women to test the general hypothesis that previous racial differentials-observed during the late r /9605 and early I970s-in employment of new mothers have disappeared with changes in over all employment patterns of women. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth show the expected pattern. Several important measures of a woman' s human capital, such as value of time, job experience and work role attitudes have similar effects in predicting postnatal labor force participation for the three groups. However, other human capital and demographic factors, especially education, family income other than the woman's earnings, and residence in an urban . area predict return to work differently for black and white mothers. The results are tied to changes in job characteristic, the economy, and the family.
