Download or read book Female Labor Supply and Child Care in France written by Philippe Choné and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use Frenche household data to estimate a structural model of female labor supply and use of paid child care outside the home. Child care costs are found to have little impact on the labor market perticipation decision of mothers. The model is used to study various policy issues. The influence of the current tax credit on child care expenditures on the mothers' labor supply is weak. Suppressing the APE (Parental Allowance for the Education) would cause the female participation rate in our sample to rise by 4 points and the proportion of mothers using paid care to rise by 2 points. The respones of women to policy changes are very heterogenous. Macroeconomic changes in female labor supply are equally due to switches between non-participation and participation and switches between working hours by working women.

Book excerpt: This paper examines how three dimensions of child care costs affect women's labor supply: (1) women's perceptions of the price of substitute care; (2) the amount of money that parents spend on child care; and (3) the availability of relatives for providing care. Tobit analyses, using data from the National Child Care Survey 1990, demonstrate that the cost of care has a multidimensional impact on women's employment. What mothers think about price matters: women's perceptions of price exert a negative influence on their time spent in paid work. As perceived minimum price increases, women's labor supply decreases. However, actual price, as indicated by predicted expenditures, affects women's labor supply in a curvilinear fashion with low- priced and high-priced care discouraging women's employment time.

Download or read book Female Employment and Gender Gaps in China written by Xinxin Ma and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book investigates female employment and the gender gap in the labor market and households during China’s economic transition period. It provides the reader with academic evidence for understanding the mechanism of female labor force participation, the determinants of the gender gap in the labor market, and the impact of policy transformation on women’s wages and employment in China from an economics perspective. The main content of this book includes three parts―women’s family responsibilities and women’s labor supply (child care, parent care, and women’s employment), the gender gap in the labor market and society (gender gaps in wages, Communist Party membership, and participation in social activity), and the impacts of policy transformation on women’s wages and employment (the social security system and the educational expansion policy on women’s wages and employment) in China. This book provides academic evidence about these issues based on economics theories and econometric analysis methods using many kinds of long-term Chinese national survey data. This book is highly recommended to readers who are interested in up-to-date and in-depth empirical studies of the gender gap and women’s employment in China during the economic transition period. This book is of interest to various groups such as readers who are interested in the Chinese economy, policymakers, and scholars with econometric analysis backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Blau has chosen seven economists to write chapters that review the emerging economic literature on the supply of child care, parental demand for care, child care cost and quality, and to discuss the implications of these analyses for public policy. The book succeeds in presenting that research in understandable terms to policy makers and serves economists as a useful review of the child care literature....provides an excellent case study of the value of economic analysis of public policy issues." —Arleen Leibowitz, Journal of Economic Literature "There is no doubt this is a timely book....The authors of this volume have succeeded in presenting the economic material in a nontechnical manner that makes this book an excellent introduction to the role of economics in public policy analysis, and specifically child care policy....the most comprehensive introduction currently available." —Cori Rattelman, Industrial and Labor Relations Review
Download or read book Childcare Markets written by Lloyd, Eva and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2012-06-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The viability, quality and sustainability of publicly supported early childhood education and care services is a lively issue in many countries, especially since the rights of the child imply equal access to provision for all young children. But equitable provision within childcare markets is highly problematic, as parents pay for what they can afford and parental income inequalities persist or widen. This highly topical book presents recent, significant research from eight nations where childcare markets are the norm. It also includes research about ‘raw’ and ‘emerging’ childcare markets operating with a minimum of government intervention, mostly in low income countries or post transition economies. Childcare markets compares these childcare marketisation and regulatory processes across the political and economic systems in which they are embedded. Contributions from economists, childcare policy specialists and educationalists address the question of what constraints need to be in place if childcare markets are to deliver an equitable service.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Child Care Responsibilities and Female Labor Supply in China written by Shuyi Yu and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In China, public child care services offered by working units used to enable Chinese women to maintain a high labor force participation rate. However, the transition to a market economy since the 1980s has resulted in substantial cuts in governmental support for child care. Women have had to face the discord between the roles of care giver and income earner. The declining female labor force participation rate has raised policy concerns about child care's impact. This paper employs a panel data set for the years 2004, 2006, 2009 and 2011 from the China Health and Nutrition Survey to examine the relationship between child care responsibilities and female labor supply. The analyses show that taking up child care has a negative relationship with both female labor force participation rate and their working hours per week. The magnitude of this relationship is especially large for rural women. These findings confirm the existence of a negative relationship between child care responsibilities and female labor supply and suggest the need for policies to help working mothers to meet their child care obligations.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic incentives have a powerful effect on the work behavior of women with children in Kenya. In addition to increasing the future productivity of children, government subsidies of low-cost early childhood development programs would increase the number of mothers who work, thus increasing the incomes of poor households and lifting some families out of poverty. They would also increase older girls' enrollment in school, by releasing them from child care responsibilities.
