The book encompasses a wide range of topics, including labor participation and hours of work, paid-work and home production, flexibility and work from home, self-employment and entrepreneurship, fertility and maternity leave, wage-penalty and career interruption, labor supply and childcare, gender norms and cultural issues, intra-household wage inequality, and many more.

Through detailed research and analysis, the book provides a rich understanding of the multifaceted factors that shape mothers' labor market experiences. It offers practical solutions and policy recommendations to address the challenges faced by working mothers and promote gender equality in the workplace. By examining the experiences of mothers from diverse backgrounds, the book contributes to a broader understanding of the social and economic implications of motherhood and its impact on individuals, families, and society as a whole.
