| Tiivistelmä: | This article uses a reform in Illinois that reduced the monthly subsidy offered to relatives asked to provide foster care as a plausibly exogenous change in the cost of caring related children. It shows that families offered a 30 % lower wage were 15 % less likely to provide care, with especially large declines for children who require mental health services, infants and teenagers. It also shows that meanwhile, child health, education, and placement outcomes do not appear to suffer following the decline in the subsidy offer, consistent with similar quality levels among marginal kin and non-kin caregivers. |
