Abstract:

This study contributes to the debate about the role of self-employment in helping women improve family?work balance by offering Canadian evidence from a uniquely rich dataset that links individual records from the 2006 Census of Population to records from the 2011 National Household Survey. Unlike most previous studies estimating the determinants of women?s self-employment, the analysis focuses directly on transitions from wage employment to self-employment among new mothers.
