Measuring the Impact of Child Care Subsidies on the Incomes of Mothers Returning to Work

Article Abstract:

Child care provided by the Australian government have been evaluated as strongly progressive and encourage working mothers to return to employment. Subsidies in the forms of child care assistance and cash rebates contribute to vertical equity by offsetting employee costs and to horizontal equity by providing greater assistance for parents with more than one child. The greatest benefits of this program are for single, low-income parents who work full-time.

Microeconomic evaluations of Australian labour market programs

Article Abstract:

Measuring the success of Australia's labor market programs in contributing to efficiency and equity goals requires microeconomic analysis. The ability of participants to obtain work should be assessed with and without the assistance of such programs, and the outcomes of program participation should be evaluated. Research suggests that the highest post-program outcomes are achievable through wage subsidy programs.
