abstract: 'This study examines the child care ``expenditure share,{''''} defined as
child care expenses divided by after-tax income. We estimate that the
average child under six years of age lives in a family that spends 4.9
percent of after-tax income on child care. However, this conceals wide
variation: 63 percent of such children reside in families with no child
care expenses and 10 percent are in families where the expenditure share
exceeds 16 percent. The proportion of income devoted to child care is
typically greater in single-parent than married-couple families but is
not systematically related to a constructed measure of socioeconomic
status. One reason for this is that disadvantaged families use lower
cost modes and pay less per hour for given types of care. The
expenditure share would be much less equal without low cost (presumably
subsidized) formal care focused on needy families, as well as government
tax and transfer policies that redistribute income towards them.'
