The paper analyzes the impact of life course events, such as parenthood, on paid and unpaid working activity of employed and married (or cohabiting) women and their partners in Italy. To this purpose the Istat Multipurpose Panel Survey in the years 2003 and 2007 is utilized. Applying a Difference-in-Differences estimator, we found that the negative impact of transition-in-parenthood on female paid work supply is stronger than the positive effect of work retribution. Furthermore, a correction method of misspecification effects has been adopted by imposing specific constraints on covariance-matrix of both market and domestic work simultaneous equations.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the impact of life course events, such as parenthood, on paid and unpaid working activity of employed and married (or cohabiting) women and their partners in Italy. To this purpose the Istat Multipurpose Panel Survey in the years 2003 and 2007 is utilized. Applying a Difference-in-Differences estimator, we found that the negative impact of transition-in-parenthood on female paid work supply is stronger than the positive effect of work retribution. Furthermore, a correction method of misspecification effects has been adopted by imposing specific constraints on covariance-matrix of both market and domestic work simultaneous equations.Pubblicazioni consigliate
