CANENCIA YANACALLO, Erika M.; TENISACA MOPOSITA, Jenny M.  and  SALAZAR MENDEZ, Yasmín. CHILD CARE AND WOMEN PARTICIPATION IN THE ECUADORIAN LABOR MARKET. Revista Economía y Política [online]. 2017, n.26, pp.1-37.  Epub July 09, 2017. ISSN 2477-9075.  https://doi.org/10.25097/rep.n26.2017.01.

During the last years, the female labor force participation rate has increased worldwide. In this context, women have increased their responsibilities as mothers and workers. This research aims to study the influence of early childhood care on maternal employment in Ecuador. For this reason, models with qualitative dependent variables were estimated using Living Conditions Survey 2013-2014 database. The results show that public and private child care are not popular in Ecuador and that women prefer informal care.

Keywords : Welfare; child-care; maternal employment.
