"Flexible working time arrangements can help combine work and family life and might therefore encourage mothers' labor market re-entry after parental leave - without a reduction in working time. The present study shows that flexible working time arrangements affect mothers' return into the labor market. Further policy measures, however, are needed to support mothers' work capacity and to contribute to gender equality in relationships and at the workplace."
