Teacher industrial action is a leading cause of temporary school closures around the globe. These events leave millions of families struggling with disrupted childcare arrangements and may have important consequences for the labor market outcomes of parents. This paper presents the first detailed analysis on the topic, exploiting recently digitalized data on teacher strikes in Argentina in a dose-response triple difference framework. Mothers respond to teacher strikes by dropping out of the labor force and this translates into a large reduction in earnings: 10 days of strike-induced school closures during the previous year reduces monthly labor earnings by almost 3 percent relative to the mean. A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that this amounts to an aggregate loss of more than $92 million dollars in Argentina each year. With respect to men, only fathers with lower predicted earnings than their spouses experience adverse labor market effects. Access to alternative care options mute some of the effects of strike-induced school disruptions on parental labor market outcomes.

教师罢工对父母的影响

教师的产业行动是全球暂时关闭学校的主要原因。这些事件使数以百万计的家庭陷入育儿安排混乱的困境,并可能对父母的劳动力市场结果产生重要影响。本文介绍了该主题的第一个详细分析,它是在剂量反应三重差异框架中利用最近在阿根廷进行的教师罢工数字化数据。母亲对教师罢工的反应是退出劳动力大军,这意味着收入大幅度下降:上一年罢工导致学校停课10天,相对于平均水平而言,每月的劳动收入减少了近3%。粗略计算表明,这每年在阿根廷造成的总损失超过9200万美元。关于男性,只有预期收入低于其配偶的父亲才会受到不利的劳动力市场影响。获得替代照料的选择可以消除罢工引发的学校中断对父母劳动力市场成果的某些影响。
