abstract: 'In 2008, Sweden introduced a cash-for-care benefit consisting of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flat-rate sum paid by municipalities to parents whose children were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between the ages of one and three and who did not use publicly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
subsidised childcare. The main object of the reform was to increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents'' freedom to choose'', but the policy was criticised because of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
its potentially negative effects on gender equality and mothers''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment. This study focuses on the effects of cash-for-care on female
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment in Sweden. The study shows that the adoption of this policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
had negative effects on female employment, although primarily in rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
areas. Cash-for-care was abolished in Sweden in 2016. To evaluate the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects that the policy had on female employment during the time it was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in place is important as it indicates what may happen if the policy is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
introduced again.'
