El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar los patrones de participación laboral de madres y padres de niños pequeños y su vinculación con la demanda de cuidados formales e informales a lo largo del último cambio de ciclo en España. Para ello se explota la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida (ECV) en el periodo 2005-2015. Una estimación simultánea del tiempo semanal que ambos padres dedican al trabajo remunerado y el que utilizan de cuidados formales e informales para sus hijos menores de tres años confirma la relación positiva entre la demanda de cuidados formales e informales y la participación laboral de madres y padres. Durante la crisis económica esta relación se hizo más débil en el caso de las madres y más significativa en el de los padres. Ello que podría apuntar a un cierto grado de implicación de los padres que perdieron el empleo durante la crisis en los cuidados de sus hijos pequeños, sustituyendo, esencialmente, a cuidadores informales.
This paper aims to analyse labour market participation patterns in mothers and fathers of young children in Spain and how they are related to the demand for formal and informal child-care along the economic cycle. To this aim, we explore the Spanish Living Conditions Survey (2005-2015). We simultaneously estimate both parents’ weekly hours in paid work and the time their under three year-old children spend in formal and informal child care. Our results confirm the positive relation between parental labour market participation and the demand for formal and informal care. During the economic crisis this relationship lost relevance in mothers while became more significant amongst fathers. The latter could point at a given degree of commitment in non-employed fathers with child care at home, substituting for non-parental (essentially, informal) child care.
