Abstract: The impact of childbirth on the labour market participation of women has been discussed extensively in the context of developed countries, constraints on mothers' labour market participation and earnings being characterized as the 'motherhood penalty'. In the developing country context, and specifically for India, similar studies are limited, primarily due to the lack of longitudinal data.
