A closer look: Informal child care arrangements and support in California

Description:

This is the second in a series of three issue briefs that presents the findings from the Informal Caregivers Research Project, funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation's Children, Families, and Communities (CFC) program and conducted by Mathematica Policy Research. This brief presents our findings on informal caregivers' and parents' networks, focusing on child care arrangements and sources of support and information related to caregiving from a small sample of informal caregivers and parents in California's Bay Area. The first brief in this series provided an overview of informal child care in California. The next brief will discuss the needs expressed by informal caregivers and parents; barriers they face in accessing resources; and recommendations for outreach methods, programs, and policies to address their needs.
