中文摘要
本文考察子女的多代影响, 以及公共提供正规托育是否能减轻子女对收入和就业的影响。我们发现, 第一个孩子的到来降低了母亲的就业和收入, 并降低了祖母的就业。通过研究魁北克省的一项普惠型托育项目, 我们发现正规托育提高了母亲的就业率, 并在较小程度上也提高了祖母的就业率。考察该项目影响在各人口普查分区之间的异质性时, 我们发现, 其对母亲就业的正向效应与政策实施前祖母提供的非正规托育供给之间存在负相关。
Abstract
This paper examines the multigenerational impact of children and whether the public provision of formal childcare lessens the earnings and employment impacts of children. We find that the arrival of a firstborn reduces employment and earnings of mothers and employment of grandmothers. Studying a universal childcare program in Quebec, we find that formal childcare increases the employment rates of mothers as well as that of grandmothers to a lesser extent. Examining heterogeneity of the program’s impact across census divisions, we find a negative correlation between the positive effects on mothers’ employment and the prepolicy supply of informal childcare by grandmothers.
