Abstract

This paper analyzes the effects of maternal and nonparental time on a child’s cognitive development. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we estimate a model that allows the mother’s time productivity to depend on her education level and that distinguishes between formal and informal care. The results show that childcare time of high-educated mothers is more productive than that of low-educated mothers and that of nonparental care. The simulation of policies subsidizing mothers’ wages or regulating the nonparental care market indicates that children with low-educated mothers benefit more from replacing maternal time with nonparental time.

母亲的时间分配、育儿与儿童认知发展

本文分析了母亲和非父母时间对儿童认知发展的影响。利用收入动态小组研究的数据，我们估计了一个模型，该模型允许母亲的时间生产力取决于她的教育水平，并区分正式和非正式的照顾。结果表明，高学历母亲的育儿时间比低学历母亲和非亲代育儿时间更有生产力。通过对母亲工资补贴政策或非父母照料市场监管政策的模拟研究表明，母亲受教育程度较低的孩子从用非父母照料时间代替母亲照料时间中获益更多。
