Notes: The standard errors are clustered on the establishment level. Low substitutability is defined as having zero to five substitutes (the reference category is employees with more than five substitutes). The background controls are gender, age, education, birth country, having children aged 0–3, and establishment size. In Column 1 we restrict the sample to individuals with at least one child younger than 11 years of age, and in Column 2 we further restrict the sample to individuals with cohabiting partners. We further control for the number of children in the following categories: 0–3 years, 4–6 years, and 7–10 years. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05,
↵*** p < 0.01.
