| description |
This article examines how a policy
oriented toward a specific group within the population can
have collateral effects on the economic decisions of other
groups. In 1996, the Chilean government approved the
extension of the school day from half- to full-day school.
This article exploits the quasi-experimental nature of the
reform's implementation by time, municipality, and age
targeting of the program in order to examine how the
maternal labor supply is affected by the childcare subsidy
implicit in the lengthening of the school day. Using data
from the Chilean socioeconomic household survey and
administrative data from the Ministry of Education for
1990-2011, the authors estimate that, on average, there is a
5 percent increase in labor participation and employment
rates of single mothers with eligible children (between 8
and 13 years old) with no younger children, who are the
group that would be mainly affected by the policy. No
significant labor supply responses are detected among others
mothers with eligible children. |
