abstract: 'I exploit the introduction of a policy package in France aimed at
|
|
|
|
helping parents with the care of young children. The reform affected all
|
|
|
|
households with pre-school age children and had two dimensions: a short
|
|
|
|
stay-home subsidy for first-time mothers wishing to take-up parental
|
|
|
|
leave and an increase in childcare subsidies for parents using
|
|
|
|
childminders-the main formal care option in France. Importantly,
|
|
|
|
policymakers did not explicitly intervene in the childcare
|
|
|
|
infrastructures. I rely on a diff-in-diff empirical strategy to evaluate
|
|
|
|
the labour market outcomes of mothers with pre-school age children in
|
|
|
|
the short-run and the long-run. The reform had negligible effects in the
|
|
|
|
short-run. In the long-run though, first-time mothers-and particularly
|
|
|
|
the lower-educated group-took advantage of the parental leave subsidies
|
|
|
|
to reduce their employment rate. This freed up formal childcare places
|
|
|
|
and allowed middle-class educated mothers of two children to use the
|
|
|
|
more generous childcare subsidies and therefore work more. The fact that
|
|
|
|
the effects take time to materialise and do not appear at the aggregate
|
|
|
|
level for the targeted population suggests that the policy did not
|
|
|
|
induce any net increase in the supply of care places and simply led to a
|
|
|
|
re-allocation of care modes among mothers of pre-school age children.'
