Abstract

|
The path to re-entry for career-interrupted women into the labor market is currently diversifying into paid-employment as well as self-employment. Using twenty-two waves of data from the Korea Labor & Income Panel Study, the current study analyzes the determinants of transition to re-entry into the labor market through paid-work or self-employment, for women who experienced career interruption due to family care. Using the Cox proportional hazards model, I examine the effects of human capital, family factors, and work histories on the transitions.. Results showed that the possibility of re-entry into employment among career-interrupted women increases in the late 30s and 40s.
A stable work history prior to the career interruption favors labor market re-entry and reduces the likelihood of re-employment in unstable jobs and entry into self-employment. For women with career-interruption, due to family care, the existence of school-aged children hiders re-entry into the labor market.
Young children also have shown to have a negative effects on the entry to self-employment for those who experienced career interruption after a permanent full-time job. Self-employment appears to be a pathway to labor market re-entry for women with lower levels of educational attainment and unstable work history prior to their career break. This suggests that re-employment support services should be customized based on the individual labor market histories of women with career breaks.
