In the case of mothers of older children, meanwhile, only one coefficient estimate is significant, namely that for the twenty-fifth quantile (10.4%). The informal sector shows strong evidence in both time periods (pre- and post-crisis) for motherhood wage penalties across the quantiles, with the largest penalties being experienced by women with children aged under 6. Nevertheless, as Budig and England (2001) highlight, it could be the case that mothers, and especially mothers of children who are not old enough to go to school, seek “mother-friendly” jobs.
