abstract: 'There are multiple reasons to consider the use of formal childcare:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parental employment, child development, fertility choices, elderly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health, generational relations, etc. This study explores the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationship between regional differences (urban/rural;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eastern/central/western) and demand for childcare services (quantity,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
price, quality) from birth to three years of age, moderated and mediated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by the family childcare contexts among Chinese women. Altogether, 1770
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers of children aged 0-3 were selected from a national survey and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyzed. There are three major findings: (1) Urban mothers show a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
willingness to spend on the higher monetary cost of center-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childcare compared to rural mothers, as a result of more severe
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work-child conflicts faced by urban women. Urban-rural gaps in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual and household income also contribute to the differences in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affordability. (2) Mothers in eastern China have a more substantial need
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to place their infants or toddlers in nurseries before the age of three
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
than their counterparts in central and western China, primarily due to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lack of grandparental and paternal childcare support and an expectation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of higher quality programs. (3) There is no significant regional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disparity in terms of care-related or education-related quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
preferences. The paper proposes regional prioritized strategies and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
targeted services to address the ``3A{''''} problems of childcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provision.'
