The Effects of Immigration on Household Services, Labour Supply and Fertility
研究了英国移民对本土女性劳动供给和生育率的影响，发现移民通过扩大育儿服务规模并降低价格，增加了女性劳动供给而不影响生育率。
Abstract Fertility and female labour force participation are no longer negatively correlated in developed countries. At the same time, increased immigration affects supply and prices of household services, which are relevant to fertility and employment decisions. This paper analyses the effect of immigration on labour supply and fertility of native women in the UK. Adopting an instrumental variable approach, I find that immigration increases female labour supply without affecting fertility. My results show that immigration increases the size of the childcare sector, and reduces its prices, suggesting that immigrants may ease the trade‐off between working and child rearing among native women.
