dc.description.abstractIn this brief, the authors explore whether lack of access to childcare is a constraint to female labor force participation (LFP) in Indonesia, a country where female LFP lags far below the regional average. Using household and labor force survey data, we find that low female LFP is linked to unsatisfied childcare needs - after childbirth, lack of access to informal childcare is associated with a longer absence from the workforce for women and a switch into less lucrative occupations or unpaid family work.en
