Child custody laws and partners' cooperation: An analysis of married and unmarried mothers during the time of COVID‐19
研究了50/50监护法对母亲在疫情期间退出劳动力市场照顾子女的影响，发现该影响因婚姻状况和父母教育程度而异。
Abstract This paper evaluates the impact of 50/50 custody laws on mothers' decision to leave the labor force for caregiving during the COVID‐19 pandemic. During the onset of the pandemic, variation in family law regarding shared parenting may have affected the labor market decisions of mothers and the impact may have been stronger for those in fragile non‐cooperative relationships. We use monthly CPS data from January 2019 to May 2021 to show that the impact of COVID‐19 changed the labor force outcomes for mothers based on child custody laws, marital status and parental educational attainment.
