• Female labour market participation in Europe: novel evidence on trends and shaping factors (2014, background): “…have a positive effect on female labour market integration by either increasing work attachment (fewer women leaving occupation after childbirth) or facilitating female re-entry into the labour market as children grow up (see, e.g., Sànchez-Mangas and Sànchez-Marcos, 2008; Lefebvre et al. 2009).”
• Canadian evidence on ten years of universal preschool policies: The good and the bad (2015, methodology): “…impact on the labour supply of mothers measured by participation, annual weeks worked, annual hours worked, and annual earnings, for both mothers with children aged 1 to 5 (Lefebvre and Merrigan, 2008) and mothers with children aged 6 to 11 (but no children less than 6) (Lefebvre et al., 2009).”
• Childcare subsidies and labour supply - Evidence from a large Dutch reform (2015, background): “Lefebvre et al. (2009) find significant long-run effects for lower-educated mothers, Nollenberger and Rodŕıguez-Planas (2015) find that the effect on participation reaches its maximum two years after the treatment and then fades away.”
• Does the cost of child care affect female labor market participation? An evaluation of a French reform of childcare subsidies (2015, background): “They find a large impact of the availability of such childcare facilities on labor participation of mothers with children of preschool age, which can be long-lasting (Lefebvre et al., 2009).”
