Download or read book The Relationship Between Child Care Assistance Expenditures and Maternal Labor Force Participation written by Rachael Kauss and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the labor force participation rate for U.S. women with young children has risen over the past few decades, mothers are still generally less likely to work than fathers or women without children. The preference of some mothers to act as primary caregivers likely drives part of this disparity, but the high cost of child care may also deter mothers from working. This study explores whether spending on federal child care assistance programs is related to changes in labor force participation rates for mothers with children under the age of six between 2010 and 2014. Using state-level data on maternal labor force participation and child care assistance expenditures through the Child Care and Development Fund and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, this study finds evidence of a positive relationship between child care assistance spending and maternal labor force participation. In addition, this study finds preliminary evidence suggesting that the magnitude of the relationship between an additional dollar of child care assistance spending and maternal labor force participation may be smaller when the cost of child care is higher.
Download or read book The Effect of Early Childhood Development Programs on Women s Labor Force Participation and Older Children s Schooling in Kenya written by Michael Lokshin and published by World Bank Publications. 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.
Download or read book Economics of Child Care written by David M. Blau and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1991-09-19 with total page 207 pages. 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 The Second Shift written by Arlie Hochschild and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated edition of a standard in its field that remains relevant more than thirty years after its original publication. Over thirty years ago, sociologist and University of California, Berkeley professor Arlie Hochschild set off a tidal wave of conversation and controversy with her bestselling book, The Second Shift. Hochschild's examination of life in dual-career housholds finds that, factoring in paid work, child care, and housework, working mothers put in one month of labor more than their spouses do every year. Updated for a workforce that is now half female, this edition cites a range of updated studies and statistics, with an afterword from Hochschild that addresses how far working mothers have come since the book's first publication, and how much farther we all still must go.

Book excerpt: One of the most significant social and economic changes of recent years has been the explosion in the number of mothers in the work place and in paid employment generally. Child care policy, provision and funding has in no way kept up with this change. Who Will Mind the Baby? explores how working mothers negotiate their responsibilities in the face of these difficulties. The book contrasts the limited child care policies of the United States and Canada with the more advanced situation in Europe and Australia, focusing in particular on the coping strategies of working mothers.

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.

Book excerpt: Whether childcare is seen as part of society's educational policy, welfare policy, or employment policy affects not only its form and content but also its public image.
