摘要本文的目的是调查日本已婚女性生育期间工作连续性的决定因素。我们使用统计局1992年就业状况调查的数据，调查了近8000名在生育前就业的已婚妇女。我们的估计和模拟结果表明，教育和获得儿童保育是重要的决定因素，为已婚妇女继续她的工作跨越生育，而高工资和短的工作时间帮助她继续工作，但不太重要的决定因素。此外，估计结果表明，不同行业和企业规模的多样化工作环境可能会影响妇女的决定。J.日本《国际经济学》，1999年3月，第13（1）页。73-89.东京都立大学，经济系，八王子，东京192-03，日本;筑波大学，政策和规划科学研究所，1-1-1 Tenjuai，筑波，茨木305-8573，日本。版权所有1999年学术出版社。经济文献分类号：J22。
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate determinants of job continuity across childbirth for married women in Japan. We use data from the Statistical Bureau's 1992 Employment Status Survey on nearly 8000 married women who were employed right before childbirth. Our estimation and simulation results suggest that education and access to child care are important determinants for a married woman to continue her work across childbirth, while high wages and short working hours help her to continue to work but are less important determinants. Also, the estimation result suggests that diversified working environments across industries and firm sizes possibly influence women's decisions. J. Japan. Int. Econ. , March 1999, 13 (1), pp. 73–89.
