本文回顾了儿童保育和母亲就业的影响，在学龄前儿童的结果的证据。这个话题长期以来一直受到经济学家、发展心理学家和其他学科学者的关注，近年来也越来越受到关注，因为研究提供了更多关于生命早期、数周和数年发展过程的证据。(1)In在这篇论文中，我回顾了两大类问题的证据：我们对早期干预儿童保育计划的潜在好处了解多少，以及我们对母亲就业和儿童保育在生命最初几年的影响（无论是积极的还是消极的）了解多少。本文中回顾的证据表明，我们现在对这两组问题都有了很好的了解。但是，这篇评论也表明，我们的知识中存在重要的空白，经济学家未来的工作可以卓有成效地解决。
This paper reviews the evidence on the impact of child care and maternal employment in the pre-school years on child outcomes. This topic has long been of interest to economists, developmental psychologists, and scholars from other disciplines, and has been the focus of increased attention in recent years, as research has provided additional evidence about the processes of development in the earliest days, weeks, and years of life.(1)In this paper, I review the evidence on two broad sets of questions: what we know about the potential benefits of early intervention child care programs, and what we know about the effects (whether positive or negative) of maternal employment and child care in the first years of life. The evidence reviewed in this paper suggests that we now know a good deal about both sets of questions. But, this review also suggests that there are important gaps in our knowledge that future work by economists could fruitfully address.
