  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, 0) or < 15 h p/w, Outcome (Y) is employed (1, 0) unemployed (1, 0). Independent variables are gender, age, education, marital status, region
