Who benefits? The social distribution of subsidized childcare in Sweden and Flanders (2012, background): “A vast amount of research has shown that the level of childcare provisions is the strongest determinant of female labour supply in industrialized countries (Gornick et al., 1998; Jaumotte, 2003; Kreyenfeld and Hank, 2000; Van der Lippe and van Dijck, 2002).”

The "Production" of Child Care: How Labor Markets Shape Social Policy and Vice Versa (2005, background): “This is evident in the lack of private child care in Germany, owing to high regulations and wage costs, even though public funds for child care in the western Länder have been quite low for decades (Hank and Kreyenfeld 2000, 2).”
