We estimate the effect of early child development on maternal labor
force participation. Mothers of poorly developing children may
remain at home to care for their children. Alternatively, mothers
may enter the labor force to pay for additional educational and
health resources. Which action dominates is the empirical question
we answer in this paper. We control for the potential endogeneity
of child development by using an instrumental variables approach,
uniquely exploiting exogenous variation in child development associated
with child handedness. We find that a one unit increase in
poor child development decreases maternal labor force participation
by approximately 10 percentage points. (JEL J13, J16, J22)
