American Community Survey (ACS): Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS), 2005 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. |

American Time Use Survey (ATUS), 2006 The American Time Use Survey (ATUS) collects information on how people living in the United States spend their time. Estimates show the kinds of activities people engage in and the time they spend involved in these activities by age, sex, educational attainment, labor force status, and other characteristics, as well as by weekday and weekend day. 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. |

The Impact of Childhood Behavior Problems on Child Care and Employment Decision-Making: A Nationally Representative Panel Study The goal of this study is to examine associations between childhood behavior problems and the stability of child care and employment among working families. Particular attention is paid to autism and childhood behavior problems that may go undiagnosed. The study follows a nationally representative sample of 1500 parents and children ages birth-13, selected from Gallup panel data which includes an oversample of low-income respondents, and a comparison group of parents of children with autism, also selected from Gallup panel data. Both descriptive and multivariate analyses are conducted, and an instrumental variable approach is applied to address possible endogeneity. The expected benefits of this project are to document the influence of behavior problems on child care and employment at the national level, to inform Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) eligibility criteria for children ages birth-13 with undiagnosed developmental and/or behavior problems, and to build research capacity by linking child care research to autism research and develop two nationally representative longitudinal public domain datasets. |
