“…Since the first version was completed in 2000, and described in detail in , it has undergone a range of substantial developments. In the present version of MITTS, SIHC data from 1994/1995, 1995/1996, 1996/1997, 1997/1998, 1999/2000, 2000/2001, 2002/2004 can be used. One set of econometric estimates of preferences underlying the behavioural responses are based on data observed between 1994 and 1998 and another set is based on data observed between 1999 and 2004.…”

This paper aims to describe two sets of labour supply models, for Australia and New Zealand respectively. Both models use a similar specification; they are discrete choice structural labour supply models incorporating a large amount of detail on the relevant tax and transfer systems. The Australian models are based on Survey of Income and Housing Cost data between 1994 and 1998, and on data between 1999 and 2004, the New Zealand models are based on Household Economics Survey data between 1991 and 2001. In both countries, separate models are estimated for single men, single women, single parents and couple families. Average wage elasticities are derived and compared for a range of different subgroups.

“…Duncan, Giles and MacCrae (1999) found strong effects for sole parents (mostly women) and married women in the United Kingdom of both the age of the youngest child and the number of preschool children. In New Zealand, Kalb and Scutella (2004) found strong effects of the age of the youngest child on the labour supply for sole parents (mostly women) and partnered women. Preschool‐aged children affect the labour supply to a larger extent than do children aged greater than 5 years old.…”

"The aim of this article is to give an overview of the important issues relating to the labour supply of the primary carer in a household. Child care plays a central role in allowing the primary carer time away from the young children in a household. Therefore, child-care use is a central topic of this article, as well. There are a number of different aspects to child care, such as the price, quality, availability and type of service. This article discusses the analytical problems and challenges, taking Australian data, policy and experience as a focus, but drawing on a wide range of international empirical studies. It reports the results from previous research on child-care use and labour supply and it outlines the areas requiring more study. The focus of the article is on economic research."
