abstract: 'Preschool attendance is widely recognized as a key ingredient for later
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic success, mothers'' labor market participation, and leveling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the playing field for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. However,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the empirical evidence for these claims is still relatively scarce,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
particularly in Europe. Using data from the 2011 Austrian European Union
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Statistics of Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC), we contribute to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this literature by studying the effects of having attended preschool for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the adult Austrian population. We find strong and positive effects of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
preschool attendance on later educational attainment, the probability of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working full time, hourly wages, and the probability that the mother is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the labor market. Full time workers at the bottom and the top of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distribution benefit less than those in the middle. Women in particular
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefit more in terms of years of schooling and the probability of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working full time. Other disadvantaged groups (second generation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migrants; people with less educated parents) also often benefit more in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
terms of education and work.'
