Area of Science:

  • Social Policy
  • Child Development
  • Labor Economics

Background:

  • A significant portion of children in welfare-supported families are young (under six) or school-aged.
  • Mothers on welfare require accessible and affordable child care to transition to employment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the barriers to child care for families transitioning from welfare.
  • To identify policy recommendations for improving child care access and quality for low-income working families.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing evidence on child care affordability, availability, and quality.
  • Analysis of the impact of child care issues on parental labor force participation and job training.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Child care affordability, availability (especially for infants, toddlers, non-standard hours, and in poor neighborhoods), and quality are significant impediments.
  • While child care subsidies help, demand exceeds funding, hindering parents' employment and training.

    • Conclusions:

    • Policymakers must facilitate access to subsidies and increase the supply of appropriate child care.
    • Ensuring high-quality care is essential to support both children's well-being and parents' sustained employment.
