abstract: 'This paper assesses the impact of welfare reform''s parental work
requirements on low-income children''s cognitive and social-emotional
development. The identification strategy exploits an important feature
of the work requirement rules-namely, age-of-youngest-child
exemptions-as a source of quasi-experimental variation in first-year
maternal employment. The 1996 welfare reform law empowered states to
exempt adult recipients from the work requirements until the youngest
child reaches a certain age. This led to substantial variation in the
amount of time that mothers can remain home with a newborn child. I use
this variation to estimate the impact of work-requirement-induced
increases in maternal employment. Using a sample of infants from the
Birth cohort of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, the reduced form
and instrumental variables estimates reveal sizable negative effects of
maternal employment. An auxiliary analysis of mechanisms finds that
working mothers experience an increase in depressive symptoms, and are
less likely to breastfeed and read to their children. In addition, such
children are exposed to nonparental child care arrangements at a younger
age, and they spend more time in these settings throughout the first
year of life. (C) 2016 by the Association for Public Policy Analysis and
