  • Descrição: Public child care is expected to assist families in reconciling work with family life. Yet, empirical evidence for the relevance of public child care to maternal employment is inconclusive. We exploit the introduction of a legal claim to a place in kindergarten in Germany, which was contingent on day-of-birth cut-off dates and resulted in a marked increase in kindergarten attendance of three-year olds in the following years. Instrumental variable and difference-in-differences estimations on two individual-level data sets yield positive effects of public child care on maternal employment. A set of placebo treatment tests corroborate the validity of our identification strategies. •We analyze the effects of public child care on mothers' labor supply in Germany.•We exploit two quasi-experiments using two large individual level data sets.•Our focus is on mothers whose youngest child is between three and four years old.•Increasing public child care attendance rate positively affects maternal employment.
