Child Care in Australia: This presentation looks at the relationship between female labour supply and child care in Australia. We examine a variety of different questions relating to the relationship between child care availability, quality and cost of child care and women’s labour supply. We examine a variety of modelling strategies including reduced form labour supply equations, linear labour supply models where child care is treated only as a cost of working, and a complete structural model where labour supply and child care are jointly modelled, the relationship between constraints on hours of work and child care are fully accounted for, and child care is allowed to be an input into the production of child quality as well as a cost of working. We provide elasticity estimates for Australia and apply the model to a recent government reform to child care in Australia.
