The Differential Effects of Quantity versus the Quality of Maternal Time Investments on Child Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the differential effects of the quality and quantity of maternal time on children’s cognitive and socio-emotional development. We measure the quantity of time as the total amount of maternal time devoted to childcare and quality as the fraction of this time devoted to purposeful teaching-learning routines. We address the potential endogeneity issues by using an instrumental variable approach. The quality of maternal time has a positive effect on both cognitive and socio-emotional development. The quantity of maternal time also has a positive effect on cognitive scores but it appears to have a detrimental effect on socio-emotional development.
