The child care barrier: The impacts of inaccessible and costly child care for student parents

Description:

In December of 2022, Generation Hope surveyed its current 140 student-parent Scholars in an effort to better understand their child care needs and experiences. The insights shared in the report reflect the responses of 65 student parents (46.4% response rate) attending 19 colleges and universities across the D.C. region (Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia). All of the participants are current or former teen parents who are enrolled as undergraduate students at their post-secondary institutions. While this survey produced invaluable insights into the child care needs of Generation Hope’s student-parent Scholars and unveiled many common experiences across our student-parent population, it is important to acknowledge that, due to the small sample size and niche population, the findings do not provide statistical significance nor do they function as a representative data set of the broader population of student parents. Our sincere hope is that the in-depth look provided by this specific student-parent population can function as a catalyst for further research. (author abstract)
