abstract: 'Expanding public or publicly subsidized childcare has been a top social
policy priority in many industrialized countries. It is supposed to
increase fertility, promote children''s development and enhance mothers''
labor market attachment. In this paper, we analyze the causal effect of
one of the largest expansions of subsidized childcare for children up to
three years among industrialized countries on the employment of mothers
in Germany. Identification is based on spatial and temporal variation in
the expansion of publicly subsidized childcare triggered by two
comprehensive childcare policy reforms. The empirical analysis is based
on the German Microcensus that is matched to county level data on
childcare availability. Based on our preferred specification which
includes time and county fixed effects we find that an increase in
childcare slots by one percentage point increases mothers'' labor market
participation rate by 0.2 percentage points. The overall increase in
employment is explained by the rise in part-time employment with
relatively long hours (20-35 h per week). We do not find a change in
full-time employment or lower part-time employment that is causally
related to the childcare expansion. The effect is almost entirely driven
by mothers with medium-level qualifications. Mothers with low education
levels do not profit from this reform calling for a stronger policy
focus on particularly disadvantaged groups in coming years.'
