Grandparents’ Childcare and Female Labor Force Participation

ftp.iza.org –

In the U.S., grandparents look after one in five preschool children of employed women. Does this source of informal childcare increase female labor force participation and if so, up to what extent?

Indeed, the crisis has highlighted the problems more...
