However, given that foreign-born women are more often outside the labour market, and therefore ineligible to parental leave, and given that when they find employment they tend to be concentrated in lower paying jobs, the incentive to remain at home engendered by the allowance is likely to play more forcefully upon their choices. And, though the benefits of day care, such as language and social learning, tend to be particularly pronounced for children from disadvantaged or immigrant families, the children of foreign-born women are more likely to be cared for at home for longer spells. Worryingly, this is particularly marked among those children whose parents come from refugee-sending countries.
