With the arrival of a child, women tend to stop or switch to part-time.
Believing that they will work more or come back faster if the municipalities offer more places in crèche is a preconceived idea that the figures are defeating!
As proof, from 2000 to 2016, France created 150,000 additional nursery places.
However, this increase in reception capacity has not significantly changed the situation of mothers of young children on the labor market.
"
It is unlikely that obtaining a place in a crèche has allowed more than 5% of mothers who have benefited from not interrupting their careers
," said INSEE, in an analysis published on Monday.
At best, 8,000 mothers of young children would thus have retained or regained a professional activity in 2016 while they would have interrupted their career in the situation which prevailed in 2000
”.
The increase in nursery places has not reduced the use of parental leave either.
