A structural model of job search with endogenous search decision is estimated from a panel of Candian women who have suffered a permanent job displacement. The model allows us to estimate child care costs parameters and to infer the effects of young children on the decision to search, on the probability of receiving an offer, on female reservation wages and on female unemployment duration. Finally, the behavioural distinction between single and lone others is also investigated.
