Effects of child care demands and policies on household labour supply in Australia
Policy Research Paper 25 / Denise Doiron and Guyonne Kalb. September 2005
This report is the first study based on Australian data on the labour supply behaviour of households in relation to child care.
The research demonstrates that assistance with the cost of child care is very important in promoting choice for women to participate in the workforce, particularly if they have non-school age children and are on a low wage.
