Drivers of intention to engage in informal economy activities during maternity leave
Purpose
The present paper seeks to reveal the factors underlying the intentions of women on maternity leave to engage in informal economy activities.
Design/methodology/approach
A representative cross sectional survey of 417 women on maternity leave was selected as a main research approach. A structural equation modelling – partial equation modelling served as a research tool.
Findings
The study revealed that the most important determinants of intentions to become involved in informal economy activities during maternity leave are unsatisfactory financial situation, complicated legal regulation and fear of becoming uncompetitive in the labour market.
Originality/value
To the best of authors’ knowledge, it is the first scientific attempt to investigate the informal work/economy during maternal leave.
