摘要我们评估了大规模扩大课后计划（ASP）对德国西部产妇就业的影响，那里的全职就业率相对较低。使用工具变量的方法，我们利用区域和时间的变化，通过一个全国性的投资计划，提供联邦ASP扩展赠款。结果表明，增加ASP的可用性几乎没有任何影响的工作时间和就业概率的母亲与小学的孩子。我们讨论的机制，为什么改革没有提高就业。基于时间使用数据，我们连续调查母亲如何使用额外的无子女时间。
ABSTRACT We evaluate the effects of a massive expansion of after-school programs (ASPs) on maternal employment in West Germany, where full-time employment rates are relatively low. Using an instrumental variables approach, we exploit regional and temporal variation in the provision of federal ASP expansion grants through a nationwide investment program. The results suggest that increasing ASP availability had hardly any effect on the working hours and employment probability of mothers with primary school children. We discuss the mechanisms why the reform did not enhance employment. Based on time-use data, we descriptively investigate how mothers use their additional child-free time.
