Over the last decades multiple societal developments have taken place, based on which the choice for the right timing of the transition to parenthood has become increasingly difficult. Thus, against the background of processes, like for example the educational expansion or the rising labor market participation of women, the time interval available for the birth of a child has not only become more and more narrow, but is furthermore also characterized by increasing opportunity costs. Based on these developments, this study focusses on the career effects, which are related to a different timing and spacing of births. To answer this research question, the empirical analyses are split in two parts: In a first step, the effects of a different timing and spacing of births on employment trajectories are analyzed. In a second step, the complex effects on employment transitions are investigated. Both the exit from as well as the re-entry into the labor market are considered in this step.
