A collaborative project for the creation of the Oregon Data Analysis Unit, operating within the Child Care Division. Functions of the unit include: (1) developing a comprehensive, systemic performance measurement process for the Oregon child care system; (2) redesigning the child care licensing system; and (3) producing guidebooks of basic methodologies to support ongoing research and data efforts in Oregon and across the nation. The unit is also involved in two major research efforts. The first continues the Five-State Study of Child Care Subsidy Durations, addressing questions about the relationship among use of child care subsidies, employment, and stability of child care. The second uses data on child care supply and usage to capture the dynamics of the child care supply.
