Employment, Child Care Spending, and Child Tax Benefits
As governments strive to help families with the challenges of working and raising children, understanding the effects of child tax benefits is increasingly relevant. This paper estimates the effects of child benefits on labor earnings and child care spending in Canada by using a novel data set that links 215,598 respondents of two national surveys to tax records and analyzing a 2015 reform that expanded child benefits for families with children aged 0–17. On average, the reform had no effect on earnings. In addition, results suggest that each $1.00 of benefits increases child care spending by $0.25 among married women.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the National Tax Journal (NTJ) is to encourage and disseminate high quality original research on governmental tax and expenditure policies. Articles published in the regular March, June and September issues of the journal, as well as articles accepted for publication in special issues of the journal, are subject to professional peer review and include economic, theoretical, and empirical analyses of tax and expenditure issues with an emphasis on policy implications. The NTJ has been published quarterly since 1948 under the auspices of the National Tax Association (NTA). Most issues include an NTJ Forum, which consists of invited papers by leading scholars that examine in depth a single current tax or expenditure policy issue. The December issue is devoted to publishing papers presented at the NTA’s annual Spring Symposium; the articles in the December issue generally are not subject to peer review.
