| Abstract: |
"In this paper we analyze how motherhood affects women's wages. Using a
dataset from Russia we adopt a matching technique to account for possible
selection effects. Our findings indicate that mothers tend to suffer a
moderate wage penalty. We also confine our analysis to sector-specific effects
and find that the negative effect may primarily be attributed to mothers
working in the public sector. The differences across sectors may be explained
by considerable job flexibility and a system of promotion based on work
experience which has been adopted in the public sector." (author's abstract,
