BAUM, CHARLES L., II A Dynamic Analysis of the Effect of Child Care Costs on the Work Decisions of Low-Income Mothers with Infants Demography 39,1 (February 2002): 139-164. Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 4958 Publisher: Population Association of America Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Child care costs reduce the net benefit of working and consequently influence mothers' decisions to work. They affect the employment of low-income mothers in particular because they represent a larger portion of these mothers' earnings. I used a hazard framework to examine a mother's decisions about work and hours of work after childbirth. I focused on low-income mothers with infants because they are the ones who may be most affected by child care costs. The results showed that child care costs are a barrier to work that is larger for low-income mothers than for non-low-income mothers. Further, child care costs have large negative effects on hours of work. Search returned 1 items. Search Start: 17:34:40 Search Finish: 17:34:40
