This paper examines the impact of actual subsidy receipt of single mothers on their joint
employment and child care mode decisions in the post-welfare reform environment, which
places a high priority on parental choice with the quality and type of care chosen. Results
indicate that single mothers are highly responsive to child care subsidies by increasing their
employment while moving from parental and relative care to center care in the process.
