Table A1: Alternative Estimated Effects on Labour Market Outcomes
Notes: Each cell is the treat-by-post coefficient in percentage points; significance from the wild cluster bootstrap.
The effect is robust to removing Quebec, excluding the acute pandemic months, and absorbing all province-bymonth variation, and is at least as large among mothers without a university degree. It is absorbed by a full-sample
group-specific linear trend, but that slope is contaminated by the COVID dip and recovery; a trend estimated on
the clean pre-pandemic, post-2016 window leaves a positive, attenuated effect. *** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.10.
