In this study I tried to examine the ways in which active labour market policies (#ALMP) and work-family reconciliation policies (#ECEC) have combined effects.

I found that these policies have #diminishing #returns. In other words, the highest rates of women's #employment, and the lowest rates of #unemployment and #inactivity, are found in countries with large investments in both ALMP and ECEC, but such higher investments are associated with diminishing returns.
