19In the last decades, female participation in the labour market has been found to be
increasingly associated with higher fertility levels in high-income countries—albeit to
a lesser extent in countries characterised by poor welfare support to working mothers. Among the latter camp, Italy is an intriguing case study, which is marked by lower
female labour force participation and fertility rates when compared to most other
European countries. Recent macro-level evidence suggests that a reverse in the female
employment/fertility relationship is gradually taking place in Italy, driven largely by the
Northern regions. However, the evolution of the relationship between female employment and fertility has (to the best of my knowledge) never been addressed at the
micro-level. Through the use of individual-level retrospective data, this study analyses
the link between female employment and fertility, paying special attention to diferences between Northern and Southern Italy, and its evolution over time. The results
suggest that female employment began to be positively associated to fertility at the
individual level, both in Northern and Southern Italy (although to slightly diferent
extents), from 2010 onwards.
