A new Child Trends analysis shows that, from August 2021 to August 2022, 27 percent of Asian or Asian American families with lower incomes (defined as incomes below 200% of the federal poverty threshold) and at least one child under age 5 experienced disruptions to their child care and early education (CCEE) arrangements. By comparison, 36 percent of families with these characteristics across all racial and ethnic groups experienced disruptions during this period. We consider CCEE arrangements to be disrupted when any child in a family is unable to attend a CCEE program because of program closure, lack of availability or affordability of care, or concerns about safety. Among all other racial and ethnic groups we analyzed, 27 to 40 percent of families with lower incomes and children under age 5 experienced CCEE disruptions (see figure). (author abstract)
