Abstract
The German Socio-Economic Panel asks respondents every year how much time they spend on child care. The time devoted to children in the past can thus be reconstructed and used as a variable for explaining children’s success in primary school. Parents’ education and some socio-economic features are used as further explanatory variables. Parents’ education and the time mothers spent on child care have a significantly positive effect on primary school results. Implications are discussed in a framework given by the New Political Economy.
