  1. Note: Ordinary least square regressions. Standard errors in parentheses. 6,064 women and 11,698 men in private and public sector employment. Full-time employees only. Specification 1 includes the length of an individual’s interruptions in the labor market and its squared, whereas specification 2 replaces these two variables by time unemployed, time out of labor force, length of parental leave, time in military, and time sick. All regressions include also firm size indicators and region, occupation, and industry indicator variables
