  1. Average treatment effects on the treated (ATT). The numbers of treated and controls refer to actual nearest neighbour matches. Treatment (T) is carer hours > 15 h p/w (1) > 15 h p/w (0). Outcome (Y) is employed (1, 0), unemployed (1, 0). Independent variables are gender, age, education, marital status, region (the variables ‘postsec’ and ‘southwest’ are dropped to satisfy the balancing property)
