Childbirth often means that women withdraw from the labour market, with incentive provided by replacement benefits. Such a withdrawal, while it is usually temporary, may nonetheless have repercussions on a woman’s career. Based on the Céreq Génération 98 survey, this paper assesses how far mothers’ careers are affected by the reform of the early childhood benefit, PAJE (Prestation d’Accueil du Jeune Enfant), which, in 2004, extended financial benefits provided under the Order to the birth of the first child. Since then, increasing numbers of first-time mothers have taken a total or partial break from work for a short period. It has been found that this can have a negative impact on their salaries for up to two years following the birth.
