Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examine the effects of after-school care on female labor supply of those who are bringing up school-aged children. We use two types of longitudinal surveys, Japanese Panel Survey of Consumers and Longitudinal Survey of Adults in the 21st Century. We find that provision of after-school care have the positive effects on female labor supply, especially as regular workers. In addition to formal after-school care, it is important for fathers to be involved into child rearing in order to encourage labor force participation of mothers with school-aged children. The empirical results support to enhance provision of child care for school-aged children and to improve working conditions at fathers' workplaces.
