Having children affects  women's employment rate negatively but has positive impact for men 

Having children in the household negatively affects the employment rate of women while it positively affects the employment rate of men.

Women with children are less likely to have a job than those without, while the opposite is true for men, EU data on the gender employment gap show.

The European Commission's data analysis wing Eurostat has published a series of findings in relation to gender disparity to coincide with International Women's Day.
