Abstract
The majority of Swiss children attend mandatory and cost-free kindergarten at
four. We examine the effect of this policy on maternal labour market outcomes.
Using administrative data, we exploit the birthday cut-off for kindergarten
entry in the same or in the following year and apply a non-parametric
regression discontinuity design (RDD). We find that mandatory kindergarten has
a statistically significant positive effect on the labour market attachment of
previously non-employed mothers, increasing their employment probability by 4
percentage points. In contrast, there are no significant effects on other
groups or in the total sample of mothers.
