Life course studies focusing on the cumulated advantages and disadvantages (CAD) hypothesis indicate that initial differences in a specific characteristic (sex, social status, or health) have an impact on intracohort differentiation. Most of these studies consider an entire life course and do not focus on specific transitions as a key moment for differentiation. In this article, the researchers focus on the transition to parenthood, showing that variations in occupational participation of both partners before the birth of a first child explain how professional trajectories differentiate after child birth.
