All in the family? The community context of childcare options and parents’ childcare choices

Description:

Description: Childcare in the United States is an important issue impacting parents as they navigate a landscape characterized by challenging choices between parental care only, the price of paid childcare, and largely unpaid kin care. Drawing on guidance from the accommodation model, the current work extends the examination of childcare choices by including non-paid care and by using a sample of families across a broad range of incomes. Data from a statewide childcare survey linked to information regarding proximity of kin, unpaid childare, childcare prices, and other potentially relevant community characteristics are used in the empirical work. Multivariate analyses treat the mother’s employment decision and childcare choices as simultaneous decisions. (author abstract)
