abstract: 'We examine the effects of 10 welfare and employment programs on single
|
|
|
|
mothers'' use of Head Start for their 3- to 4-year-old children,
|
|
|
|
considering concurrent program effects on employment, income, and the
|
|
|
|
use of other types of childcare settings. In general, these welfare and
|
|
|
|
employment experiments increased parental employment and the use of
|
|
|
|
center- and home-based childcare, but decreased families'' use of Head
|
|
|
|
Start. The findings suggest that two types of policies affecting
|
|
|
|
low-income families-welfare and employment on the one hand, and early
|
|
|
|
childhood intervention on the other - are operating independently, and
|
|
|
|
may actually conflict. Policy-induced increases in maternal employment
|
|
|
|
generated an increased need for childcare; however, mothers did not
|
|
|
|
appear to use Head Start to meet this need, instead increasing their use
|
|
|
|
of other types of care arrangements. The part-day, part-year structure
|
|
|
|
of Head Start at the time of these programs and issues of eligibility
|
|
|
|
are discussed as potential barriers to the use of Head Start among
|
|
|
|
low-income families under a welfare system that requires parents to
