Use of child care before and after school in Canada
Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100800004Description: Over the past several decades, there has been a growing demand for non-parental child care services, in part due to a rise in dual earner families and single parent households who may require care while working or studying. Previous work has described the use of child care for pre-school aged children in Canada and other high-income countries. However, much less information is available to describe the use of child care for school-aged children. Thus, the purpose of the current study is to describe the use of non-parental child care for kindergarten and elementary school children (age 4 to 11), including type of care and number of hours in care, as well as to identify predictors and correlates of child care use for this demographic.Issue Number: 2021008Author(s): Findlay, Leanne C.; Kingsbury, MilaDOI: https://doi.org/10.25318/36280001202100800004-engMain Product:Economic and Social Reports
