For our estimations we use comprehensive panel data for German adults born between 1944 and 1989. We find that utilization of statutory parental leave decreases women's probability to switch into self-employment. This effect is statistically significant for start-ups in highskilled occupations. In contrast, start-ups in low-skilled occupations are not significantly affected by statutory parental leave.
