本文讨论了研究儿童保育与母亲劳动力供给之间关系的几种方法。重点是0-3岁儿童的托育，因为这是职业母亲和孩子的关键时期，而且大多数有3-5岁孩子的欧美家庭已经使用托儿所。本文提供了不同国家儿童保育的可用性、政府支出、数量和质量标准等数据，然后比较了儿童保育需求和劳动力供给决定因素的不同方法。本文随后回顾并比较了有关儿童保育成本、可用性和质量影响的实证结果。最后，本文讨论了不同群体的不同影响并提供了结论性意见。
This paper discusses several approaches to examining the relationship between child care and mothers' labor supply. The focus is on child care for children aged 0-3, because this is a critical period for working mothers and their children and because most European and American households with children aged 3-5 already use child care centers. The paper provides data concerning availability of, government spending on, and quantity and quality standards for child care in different countries, then compares different approaches to the determinants of child care demand and labor supply. The paper subsequently reviews and compares empirical results regarding the impact of child care costs, availability and quality. Finally, the paper discusses different impacts across different groups and provides concluding remarks.
