Advances in explaining women's employment patterns (2012, background): “Third, it is commonly argued that a lack of part-time opportunities constrains women’s employment, i.e. that more mothers would join the labour market in the event that such opportunities were more readily available (e.g. Del Boca 2002; Gutiérrez-Domènech 2005).”
Dynamic Labour Supply Effects of Childcare Subsidies: Evidence from a Canadian Natural Experiment on Low-Fee Universal Child Care (2009, background): “There are a number of studies of the same nature in Europe: for France, Chroné et al. (2004); for Sweden, Gustafsson and Stafford (1992) and Lundin et al. (2007); for Italy, Del Boca (2002), Del Boca and Vuri (2006); for Germany, Wrohlich (2004); for England, Viitanem (2005).”
Does Fertility Respond to Financial Incentives? (2008, background): “…have a non-negligible impact on fertility. neglect child-care subsidies, which are important both in theory (see Apps and Rees (2001)) and in practice (del Boca (2002) and Choné, Leblanc, and Robert-Bobée (2002)), as taking them into account would require modeling the choice of child care mode.”
Why do people postpone parenthood? Reasons and social policy incentives. (2011, background): “(2003) and Del Boca (2002) established that childbearing was positively inﬂuenced by reduced childcare costs and increased child-care availability.”
Channels of Social Influence on Reproduction (2003, background): “In Italy, 50% of working mothers use their children’s grandmothers as the main childcare service ( Del Boca 2002 ).”
On the Changing Correlation Between Fertility and Female Employment over Space and Time (2002, background): “In the case of Italy, Di Tomasso (1999) and Del Boca (2002) note that norms regarding the division of time within the household might be reinforcing the socio-economic factors which prevent Italian women from combining work and children.”
The Emergence of Lowest‐Low Fertility in Europe During the 1990s (2002, background): “…child care support (EspingAndersen 1999).17 The labor market is also relatively inflexible in providing possibilities for part-time work or reentering the labor force after an absence due to childbirth (Del Boca 2002; González, Jurado, and Naldini 2000; Stier, Lewin-Epstein, and Braun 2001).”
Why Do Most Italian Young Men Live with Their Parents? Intergenerational Transfers and Household Structure (2006, background): “Del Boca (1997) studies intra-household transfers in Italy but she also takes household structure as given.”
The mismatch between employment and child care in Italy: the impact of rationing (2007, background): “The results are quite satisfactory since the imputed variables are not statistically different from the original ones in almost all the cases and the differences between the common-fusion correlations in the SHIW data set versus the fused Multiscopo data set seem to be well preserved for most variab”
Life Cycle Employment and Fertility Across Institutional Environments (2009, background): “There are also dynamic models that explicitly take into account the contemporaneous jointness of fertility and labor supply decisions (e.g., Moffitt, 1984; Hotz and Miller, 1988; Del Boca, 2002; Francesconi, 2002; Keane and Wolpin, 2006).”
The impact of family policies on fertility in industrialized countries: a review of the literature (2007, background): “As such, the paper expands and updates the reviews by Chesnais (1996), Demeny (1987), Gauthier (1996), Hecht and Leridon (1993), McNicoll (1998) and Sleebos (2003).”
Grandparents’ Childcare and Female Labor Force Participation (2013, background): “Del Boca (2002) and Del Boca et al.
