Changes in Child Care Arrangements of Working Women: 1965-1971 Presented: American Statistical Association, Business and Economic Statistics Section, 1975 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: American Statistical Association Keyword(s): Child Care; Mothers; Transportation Child care arrangements of working mothers in l965 and l97l are compared in order to test hypotheses about the effects of demographic and economic changes on those arrangements. The results show an increased use of day care centers and family day care homes, which may be attributed to federally funded programs. Additional care by fathers and siblings was also observed. However, the following arrangements were significantly reduced: care after school by the mother, care by the mother at work, care in a relative's home, and care in the child's home by a nonrelative. It appears that the further a woman must travel to work, the less likely she is to care for her children. |
