abstract: 'Little is known about the determinants of out-of-school childcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
arrangements of school-age children. Using data from the Survey of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Income and Program Participation, this study compares out-of-school
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childcare arrangements of children in single-mother and two-parent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working families and examines the factors influencing their childcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
decisions. Findings suggest that for both types of families, the key
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factors influencing childcare choices are hours of employment of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers, degree of economic disadvantage, and children''s ages. We also
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
find that single mothers compensate for absence spouses by using kin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disproportionately more for childcare. The study shows that after-school
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
programs are used relatively less than other forms of childcare for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
schoolchildren. We think that less use maybe associated with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inability of after-school programs to meet the hours of childcare needed
