Abstract	"This study explores the linkage between five policy indicators of public childcare provision for below threes and maternal employment in terms of employment propensity and (conditional) working hours based on German microcensus data 2006 - 14. Our two-way fixed effects estimations with individual and macro-level confounders as well as year- and state-fixed effects show that raising the coverage rate by 1 percentage point and the existence of a legal childcare claim from the age of one relates to an increase of weekly working hours by 0.5 per cent and 3.1 per cent, respectively. Regarding the employment propensity, correlations with policy indicators are rather weak." (Author's abstract, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons).
