abstract: 'The goal of this project was to protect children while parents work in
agriculture by improving off-farm services for children of migrant and
seasonal farm workers. Large agricultural enterprises have policies
forbidding children in the worksite. At the same time, their employees,
who are trying to generate income, seek as many work hours as possible
but often lack viable options for childcare services. As employers
strive to increase their labor pool, and workers seek off-farm
childcare, there is mutual interest in improving access to childcare
services in agricultural regions dependent on large numbers of full-time
and seasonal workers. This report describes the employers'' perspectives
on childcare needs of hired farm workers'' families and their barriers
and motivators to facilitating off-farm childcare services. Using
descriptive survey research methodology, data were collected from a
convenience sample of 102 agribusiness owners and Human Resource
directors attending an agricultural conference regarding labor laws or
personnel management. Results revealed significant differences for those
companies employing more than 25 workers compared to their counterparts.
Primary motivators for offering childcare as an employment benefit were
improved employee morale, enhanced company reputation, and a more stable
workforce. A major barrier was that half of large-scale enterprises lack
guidance on how to provide childcare options for their workers. Survey
results are being used to facilitate collaboration among employers, farm
workers, and childcare providers to offer a safe, nurturing environment
for children while their parents work in agriculture.'
