What Parents Pay For: Child Care Characteristics, Quality, and Costs
Although most children whose mothers work receive some nonparental care, this “child care” varies tremendously in its characteristics, especially quality. Child development researchers and practitioners have explored in detail the characteristics of child care that provide the best environment for children. However, we know virtually nothing about which parents select “high‐quality” care for their children, or which arrangements most often have t…
Child care for preschoolers: Differences by child’s age
Because of the high rates of employment of mothers, a large and increasing number of preschool children receive regular care from someone else. This article develops and tests hypotheses about the choice of child care arrangements for younger and older preschool children, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women. We argue that appropriate care depends on the age of the child. It includes care by the mother or a paid provide…
Nonfamily Living and the Erosion of Traditional Family Orientations Among Young Adults
Young adults in recent cohorts have been leaving the parental home earlier and marrying later now than they did several decades ago resulting in an increased period of independent living. This paper explores the consequences of time spent in non-family living using data from the [U.S.] National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Men and Young Women. We expect that experience in living away from home prior to marriage will cause young adults to change …
Are Fee-for-Service Costs Increasing Faster Than HMO Costs
It is well known that the costs of care at health maintenance organizations (HMOs) at any point in time have been lower than in the fee-for-service sector, but how costs have changed in each of these sectors has been less well-documented. The only previous study, which examined the HMO experience during the 1960s and early 1970s, found that HMO and fee-for-service costs rose at approximately the same rate. The present study, which extends this an…
