American Community Survey (ACS): Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS), 2002 The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide communities with a fresh look at how they are changing. It will replace the decennial long form in future censuses and is a critical element in the Bureau of the Census' re-engineered 2010 census. The decennial census has two parts, the short form, which counts the population, and the long form, which obtains demographic, housing, social and economic information from a 1-in-6 sample of households. The goals of the American Community Survey are to provide an information base to federal, state, and local governments for the administration and evaluation of their programs, to improve the 2010 Census, and to provide data users with timely demographic, housing, social, and economic data that can be compared across states, communities, and population groups. The American Community Survey will provide estimates of demographic, housing, social, and economic characteristics every year for all states, as well as for all cities, counties, metropolitan areas, and population groups. |

Data about the quality of life in the United States include how much time people spend working, sleeping, caring for children, volunteering, participating in religious activities, commuting, or relaxing, as well as with whom they spend their time. Information is provided about 'secondary childcare' which is defined as care for children under 13 that is done while doing something else as a primary activity. |

Maintaining Employment: The Impact of Child Care Subsidies An examination of the relationship between child care subsidies and child care-related work disruptions that affect mothers' ability to maintain steady employment and work productively, including considerations of whether this relationship is mediated by variables that affect the type of care chosen, and whether subsidies impact the desire to change child care arrangements. The study applies cross-sectional and change regression models and path analysis to two samples: (1) a sample, collected in 2005-2006, of 40 low-income employed mothers who were interviewed twice--once while on the wait list for child care subsidies, and again eight months later, when the majority had subsequently received a subsidy--allowing for a quasi-experimental research design; and (2) a sample of predominately unmarried mothers with children aged 1-3 years from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being study. |
