- This paper considers the simultaneous relationship of a single motherâ??s decision to choose paid-childcare, welfare and labor supply, by formulating and estimating a structural labor supply model. The results show that an increase in the social assistance norm has a relatively small effect on paid childcare utilization but a relatively larger effect on the labor supply. In contrast, a reduction of the childcare cost has a relatively large effect on the social assistance utilization but a relatively small effect on the labor supply. Our estimates suggest that a decrease in childcare cost increases the labor supply of those working rather than encouraging nonworkers to start work.
