abstract: 'German family policy was dramatically reformed in the 2000s because of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dual reforms to parental leave and childcare provision. While
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considerable evidence has suggested the reforms affected employment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other outcomes, this article asks what the consequences of these reforms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are for the family, specifically for patterns of work-family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arrangements. Moreover, it asks how education matters for work-family
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arrangements post-reform. Using German Socio-Economic Panel data, I show
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that college-educated mothers giving birth to their first child after
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the reforms earned roughly half of household income if they benefited
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from expanded local childcare access. By contrast, in areas with lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childcare availability, even among the college-educated, mothers''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
earnings resemble pre-reform patterns, where mothers earn between a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quarter to a third of household income. Therefore, the reforms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contributed to greater differences in family structures based on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education. One interpretation of these findings is that the status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reproducing nature of the Continental welfare states has recalibrated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the modern age, de-gendered for those with the greatest labour
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

market returns.'
