Autores - Matías Berthelon (Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez), Diana Kruger, (Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez) Carlos Zamora (Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez) 

Presentador - Matías Berthelon

Resumen - Women have lower labor force participation rates than men, and they typically have access to lower quality jobs. We investigate the effect of a reform that lengthened school schedules from half to full days in Chile on maternal labor force participation and on several measures of job quality. We use the gradual implementation of the policy across municipalities and over time to identify its effects. We find an overall positive effect on LFP, and heterogeneous effects on job quality measures by mother’s cohort of birth. Longer school days allow younger mothers to work more hours and find more formal and secure jobs..
