Description:
In December of 2007, OHS turned to the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS), a relevant Federal resource that collects data annually on farmworker populations, to explore regional population demographics for MSHS-eligible families. In addition to reporting on the demographics of the families, the NAWS team created and piloted a Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Supplement asking about MSHS-eligible families' child care utilization, demographics and history. This report provides the following: National and regional estimates of MSHS-eligible children, and trends in the population distribution across regions (using 2009-2011 NAWS data); Descriptive information from the NAWS on MSHS-eligible parents and comparison data from slightly higher income families (using 2007-2011 NAWS data); Descriptive information from the NAWS MSHS Supplement on childcare and experiences with and barriers to participating in MSHS (using 2008-20011 NAWS data).
