My proposed dissertation research addresses this gap in the literature by using national state-level data from the National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) to examine the association between subsidy policy generosity (represented by income eligibility thresholds, provider reimbursement rates, and family copayments) and three labor supply outcomes: (1) child care worker wages, (2) workforce education qualifications and (3) turnover rates. After examining state variation in these policy features, I will use multivariate regression analyses to test whether states with more generous policy designs have higher wages, a more educated workforce, or less turnover.
