| Summary |
The author asks how far the extension of employer-supported childcare serves as a driver for higher maternal labor supply. She shows that this HRM policy has a positive impact on the length and working volume of mothers after childbirth. Its usage by mothers with pre-school age children influences the working hours positively. |
