abstract: 'Childcare has an influence on child morbidity and survival. It has an
effect on children''s development potential, especially during the first
five years of life. This study examined the relationship between child
care arrangements and the wellbeing of children under five years whose
mothers worked away from home, using survey data collected from 804
households in Wakiso District of Central Uganda. Chi-squared tests and
regression analysis were used to examine the association between child
wellbeing and other explanatory variables, including child care
arrangements. Results showed that 52\% of the children were under the
care of relatives and 17\% were in multiple child care arrangements.
Concerning caregivers, 95\% were female, 61\% were resident caregivers
and only 7\% had no formal education. Results further show that 17\%,
3\% and 7\% of the children of the urban working women were stunted,
wasted and underweight respectively. Child wellbeing varied
significantly by sex of the caregiver, religion of the mother and
household wealth. Children that had female caregivers, in the middle and
rich wealth quantiles and those with Pentecostal or Seventh-day
Adventist mothers had better health outcomes than other children.
Interventions aimed at improving the health of children of employed
women should enhance the socioeconomic status of households, especially
those in the poorest category. The study highlights a need to provide
childcare training for men, as well as the importance of overcoming
barriers that deter men''s participation in childcare work.'
