The past two decades have witnessed several reform laws with the result of favoring joint
custody after divorce. However, in the Spanish case, the presumption of mother sole custody
is the main alternative for custody arrangement. The most popular justification for this
phenomenon is the ongoing social norms of society which takes women’s responsibility for
child rearing for granted. By doing so, adversely effects appear as a considerably decline in
the participation of women in the labour market which in turn will lead to an increase of
women’s risk of poverty. To overcome this shortcoming, we made a quantitative analysis to
test the effect of shared custody, such a recent trend in Spain, on the participation of female
in the labour market. Results provide support to the idea that females in Catalonia, Valencian
Community and Basque country, where legislation foster shared parenting, are more likely
to employed. [--]
