Due to the increase in labor force attachment of mothers of young children in the last decade, child care policies have a renewed importance. This paper uses Colombian data to perform a characterization of the child care market, generating stylized facts to inform the debate. The main trends are: highly informal market, high participation and employment rates of mothers of young children, relatively little "unmet need" for child care services and the poor facing constraints to access the market for child care, both in quantity and price. This study analyzes how Colombian families make their child care decisions, simultaneously choosing whether the mother works, whether to pay for care and what mode to use. The estimations performed suggest that there is a strong positive effect of child care choice on the mother's working decision, and that this effect is much higher for low-income families. As children grow the availability of formal care modes becomes determinant to enable the mother's labor force attachment. |

El presente estudio caracteriza el mercado de cuidado infantil para el caso Colombiano, generando hechos estilizados con el objetivo de informar el debate. Los rasgos más prominentes son: (i) el mercado de cuidado infantil es altamente informal; (ii) se observan altas tasas de participación en el mercado laboral, y de empleo, de las madres de niños pequeños; (iii) hay poca evidencia de "demanda insatisfecha" por servicios de cuidado de niños; y (iv) las familias pobres enfrentan restricciones importantes, tanto en cantidad como en precio, en el acceso a dichos servicios. Se modelaron las decisiones simultáneas de las familias Colombianas en cuanto a elección de alternativa de cuidado de niños, si pagar o no por dicho cuidado y si la madre trabaja o no. Las estimaciones sugieren que existe un efecto positivo y significativo de la elección del tipo de cuidado de los niños sobre la decisión de trabajar de la madre y que este efecto es, además, mucho más alto para las familias de bajos ingresos. A medida que los niños crecen, la disponibilidad de alternativas formales de cuidado infantil resulta ser determinante en la decisión de las madres de participar en el mercado laboral.41 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 43 Noviembre de 2004https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/002267.htmlDemand for child care and female employment in ColombiaDemanda por cuidado infantil y empleo femenino en ColombiaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPChildcareLabor market participationNiños - Cuidado e higiene - ColombiaMadres - Empleo - ColombiaTrabajo de la mujer - ColombiaJ13, J22Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTHUMBNAILdcede2004-43.pdf.jpgdcede2004-43.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg52574https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/a675531f-90a0-41ea-bf7e-c0b5785bc2a8/download28dee87f03a44321ccd1eee0fe5187c9MD55TEXTdcede2004-43.pdf.txtdcede2004-43.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain104071https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/4eee0cf7-2442-4eef-af59-1409bb3f9b7a/download3326f3f81e1eb87ff0f4835ccd9019b9MD54ORIGINALdcede2004-43.pdfdcede2004-43.pdfapplication/pdf450646https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/efe63143-e10d-4986-b479-749e8c1f5f8c/download335f5473efb55773d05d30614ebe333bMD511992/7899oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/78992024-06-04 15:48:53.809http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
