  • 12. Canadian Survey on the Provision of Child Care Services
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100800001
    Description:

    To date, there exists little national information on the provision of child care services in Canada, despite investments in the creation of a national child care program. Statistics Canada, in collaboration with ESDC developed the Canadian Survey on the Provision of Child Care Services (CSPCCS) to identify the feasibility of a survey frame to survey child care providers, and to enable the reporting of descriptive information about those providers. This article describes the CSPCCS and its objectives.

  • 13. Patterns of participation in early learning and child care among families with potential socioeconomic disadvantages in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100800002
    Description:

    Various studies have shown that children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families are more likely to have poorer outcomes than children from more advantaged families and that such gaps could be reduced by participating in early learning and child care (ELCC). Using the 2019 Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements, a nationally representative survey that provides the most updated and detailed information on child care for children aged 0 to 5 years, this study examines the patterns of ELCC participation among families with potential socioeconomic disadvantages in Canada.

  • 14. Use of child care before and after school in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100800004
    Description:

    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.

  • 15. Indigenous and non-Indigenous early learning and child care workers in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100800005
    Description:

    Educators who are part of Indigenous children’s own communities can play an important role in providing them with early learning experiences that reflect their cultural heritage and traditions. This study examines the sociodemographic and employment characteristics of early learning and child care (ELCC) workers who are First Nations people, Métis or Inuit. Using 2016 long-form Census data, two occupational groups were studied – early childhood educators and assistants (ECEA) and child care providers (CCP). Comparisons were also made with non-Indigenous ELCC workers in the same occupational groups.

  • 16. The early learning and child care industry in Canada: Business characteristics and industry gross domestic product
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100800006
    Description:

    Childcare supports labour force participation for parents, and can support language, early learning, and the social development of children before they enter the school system. However, there has been little consistent, comparable information on early learning and childcare businesses across the provinces and territories. This paper examines the business and economic characteristics of childcare in Canada, which is provided by firms through markets, and early learning services funded by governments through junior kindergarten and kindergarten. The paper uses administrative datasets to identify firms providing childcare services in Canada for children up to and including the age of 5 for the period from 2008 to 2016. The childcare firms are then used as a basis to examine the revenue and Gross domestic product of the childcare industry based on the type of firm (incorporated vs. unincorporated) generating the income.

  • 18. Child care Use for Canadian Children Under Age 6: Results from the Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements
    42-22-0001
    Description:

    Canadian governments, at federal and provincial levels, have shown increasing attention to the importance of child care, in particular as a means to increase parents' labour force participation and enhance children's development. The Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements (SELCCA) provides a current snapshot of early child care use in Canada, and can be used to better understand the reasons why families choose to use or not use different types of child care arrangements. This presentation explores findings from the 2020 SELCCA in order to demonstrate use of child care, types of arrangements used by parents, reasons for using and not using care, and difficulties finding child care. Results will also be compared to the 2019 SELCCA to explore changes that have occurred during the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • 19. National Data Sets: Sources of Information for Canadian Child Care Data Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2006284
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    The present review provides a description of various Canadian national survey data sets that could be used to examine issues related to child care use. National data sets dealing with patterns of employment, time use, family earnings, social support, and child, adolescent, or adult health measures were included. We conclude that numerous questions remain unanswered in terms of addressing the relationship between patterns of employment, use of child care, family roles and responsibilities, and associations with the health of families. Recommendations are made about information that has not been collected but may prove to be useful in addressing these issues. Moreover, we conclude that existing Canadian national survey data could be used to address several issues related to patterns of care use as well as the impact on children and families.

  • 3. Work Absences Due to Injury or Illness and Employee Retention in the Child Care Services Industry Before the COVID-19 Pandemic
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2023005
    Description: Despite evidence showing that early childhood educators and assistants are at risk of contracting infectious or non-infectious diseases or suffering physical injuries, no Canadian study has investigated the degree to which:

    a) early childhood educators and assistants incur work absences due to injury or illness in a given year;

    b) such absences are associated with an increased likelihood of leaving the child care sector during that year or subsequent years.

    This study fills this information gap.

  • 7. Accuracy of parental perceptions about licensed child care in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200600002
    Description:

    Regulation of child care centres and home environments benefits children by setting standards for such things as child safety, child to caregiver ratios, and caregiver education and training which are all key elements in providing high quality care. In contrast, unregulated child care is of unknown quality and does not necessarily conform to provincial regulations and standards other than a maximum number of children in care, which itself is irregularly monitored. Surveys of child care use generally rely on parental report of regulatory status; however, the accuracy of parental reports is unknown. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine the accuracy of parental reporting of the licensed status of child care including child care centres as well as child care homes where the regulatory status may be less apparent.
