Abstract In this study, we consider household decision-making on living arrangements and maternal labor supply in extended families with young children. In such a context, decision-making is driven by the concerns that the companionship of children is a household public good and that family members share childcare and related domestic duties.
Both channels play important roles in households with mothers whose wage rates are high, while sharing the companionship of grand sons is the main driving force in households with mothers whose wage rates are low.
Using China Health and Nutrition Survey CHNS data, we find that among less-educated mothers, the incidence of a family coresiding with the paternal grandmother is at least 8. At the same time, maternal labor supply increases by 2. Our study not only provides a better understanding of the demographic and economic factors determining coresidence and intrahousehold time allocations but also lends empirical support to policies aiming to increase female labor supply and improve the well-being of girls.
