abstract: 'For mothers with young children, child care challenges can pose
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant barriers for their labor force participation. Working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers must arrange for someone else to care for their children when
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working outside the home. Previous research has shown that women with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children spend less time in the labor force compared to women without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
children. This study used the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to examine whether a range of child care characteristics, neighborhood
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factors, and individual factors caused mothers of young children to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leave the work force. The results indicated that child care-related work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exits are common occurrences for mothers in large urban areas. Of those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mothers in the FFCW sample who used non-parental child care, more than
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one in ten mothers reported work exits due to child care-related
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
problems. Logistic regression analysis further revealed that common risk
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
factors for work exits included changing child care arrangements, using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
multiple types of child care, living in neighborhoods with a higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
percentage of Hispanic population, being African American, and having
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household income between 50 and 99\% of FPL. The findings are useful in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
informing social policies and interventions to help mothers better
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
bridge the gap between adequate child care and gainful employment. (C)
