Child Care Subsidies and the Work Effort of Single Mothers Post-welfare reform has introduced a new set of policy questions around child care subsidy receipt. The present study addresses policy relevant questions that seek to better articulate the relationships between single mothers' decisions about work, child care and subsidy access. In addition, the study explores the relative importance of process and structural measures of child care quality in supporting children's development. Sample: Unmarried mothers with at least one child under age 13. Measures: Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) Program Records; National Survey of America's Families (NSAF); Early Childhood Longitudinal Study birth cohort (ECLS-B). |

Examining the Effects of Subsidy Eligibility on Parent Employment, Child Care Arrangements and Children’s Development Federal law limits eligibility of child care subsidy receipt to a maximum of 85% of a state's median income, but states may choose to set thresholds below this level. As a result, there is a substantial amount of variation in the thresholds states set and variation within states over time. This variation in eligibility is used in the present study to predict changes in parent employment, child care arrangements and child outcomes. Specifically, this project examines the impact of eligibility for child care subsidies, as determined by state income eligibility thresholds, on parents' labor force participation and child care choices. In addition, the study investigates whether the change in child care and parent employment experiences by eligible families has subsequent effects on child behavior and school readiness. Measures include: Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) State Plans; National Household Education Survey (NHES); National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). |

Patterns of Child Care Subsidy Use in New York City: Care Arrangements, Parental Preferences, and Subsidy Administration Policies The goal of this project is to examine associations among parental preferences for child care, parents' perceptions of care quality, subsidy policies, and the care arrangements that low-income working families in New York City use for their young children. The project relies on two data sources: (1) New York City administrative data on the entire population of subsidy recipients with children age 6 and younger to describe families' child care arrangements; and (2) a phone survey with a random sample of 2,250 families drawn from the administrative data file. The survey asks parents about their reasons for selecting each of their care arrangements, their level of satisfaction with the care they use, the dimensions of care that they perceive as most important, their work/family balance, and their experiences with the subsidy administration system. Using these data, the project attends to four sets of research questions: (1) What are the dynamics of subsidy use? What is the duration of subsidy use?; (2) Is there a mismatch between parents' stated preferences for child care, and the care that they actually use? What are the policy barriers that potentially prevent families from accessing the care that they prefer? Are there specific barriers faced by families who receive vouchers (as opposed to those who receive care in a contracted setting) that affect their use of formal care?; (3) Are parental preferences for child care differentially associated with the use of formal versus informal care? How are parental perceptions of child care quality and parental work characteristics associated with the use of formal or informal care?; and (4) Does the continuity of care depend on whether the care is informal or formal? |

The Role of Child Care Subsidies in the Economic Well-Being of Low-Income Families This project explores the dynamics of child care subsidy use among low-income families and examines the factors associated with stable (long-term) subsidy use and positive economic outcomes at the exit of subsidy receipt. In addition, this research provides estimates of the extent to which child care subsidy receipt is associated with changes in mothers' earnings and how these relationships differ (or not) across racial/ethnic subgroups. The results are expected to provide needed information regarding long-term patterns of child care subsidy receipt in Wisconsin and the extent to which subsidies contribute to self-sufficiency for low-income working families. Sample: Families that applied for child care subsidies in Wisconsin in 2000; Measures: Wisconsin administrative data. |
