abstract: 'Using data from a longitudinal study of working-class participants on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
youth enterprise start-up programme in the United Kingdom, we examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether programmes aimed at disadvantaged groups enable parents to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
combine business trading with childcare responsibilities. Business
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
planning and programme selection practices ignored childcare, rendering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it a solely private matter, invisible to public scrutiny. Yet this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
childcare barrier became both a cause and a consequence of business
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
failure. Participants'' experiences of combining trading and childcare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
varied by gender. All mothers and one father had complex strategies for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
synchronising trading and childcare responsibilities. However, these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strategies soon collapsed, contributing to business closure. Most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fathers relied on the childrens'' mother to organise and conduct
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
continuous care, but this was dependent on fathers becoming breadwinners
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through profitable trading which was not achieved. There is growing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy recognition of the importance of the childcare barrier to paid
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work for lower income families and for self-employed women in the United
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kingdom. However, despite recent initiatives, severe constraints remain
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for working-class parents to start and manage a business. Several
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implications for policy are discussed.'
