Abstract
ABSTRACT This study applies the DID method to the 3rd and 5th Time Use Survey in Korea to demonstrate the impact of South Korea’s free childcare policy on time allocation of women with preschool children. Estimation results indicate that the free childcare policy increased working hours of married women with preschool children and free time for full-time housewives. These results imply that the free childcare policy promotes women’s work-family balance and prevents women’s career interruptions. It also highlights the reality of daycare facilities-oriented operation which is a characteristic of Korea’s free childcare policy.
