  • Navigating Parenthood in the Pandemic

    Open AccessSamantha Burns, Adrienne Davidson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2025References: 30

    Inequalities that emerged during COVID-19 pandemic highlight the need to examine parent constraints in their decision-making around work and early childhood education and care (ECEC). This paper draws on conjoint survey data from a representative sample of 976 parents from the four largest Canadian provinces to examine the trade-offs parents made regarding their child’s care during the pandemic. Demographic differences in parental income, employm…

  • What Do Parents Want in Terms of Early Childhood Education and Care

    Sumayya Saleem, Samantha Burns et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2022

    In the development of early childhood education and care (ECEC) policy, it is important to understand parents’ decision-making in terms of both preferences and pragmatic constraints. Traditional data collection techniques such as self-reported surveys can elucidate parental preferences, however, these may differ from their actual decisions. In our research we marry qualitative responses about ECEC preferences with the results of a quasi-behaviora…

  • Information effects on parental choices for early childhood education and care

    Open AccessSamantha Burns, Adrienne Davidson et al.ARTICLEBehavioural Public Policy2022Cited by: 4References: 5

Experimental studies have also demonstrated …

  • Policy Frameworks and Parental Choice

    Open AccessAdrienne Davidson, Samantha Burns et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2022Cited by: 2References: 31

    Many children in Canada and the United States experience poor-quality child care on a regular basis. Under the rubric of 'parent choice,' governments continue to permit a variety of licensed care providers (centers and homes) as well as unlicensed home child care providers. Research suggests, however, that parents are not well-informed consumers about child care services, unaware of even the basic characteristics of their child's care. In this st…

  • Child care policy and child care burden

    Open AccessAdrienne Davidson, Samantha Burns et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Public…2020

    The policy feedback literature highlights that the design of public policies can affect recipients’ experience of those policies and programs. In this paper, we examine the largely unexplored distributional implications of market-based early childhood education and care (ECEC) services. We present the results of a quasi-behavioral conjoint survey of 606 parents in the City of Toronto. Grouping parent respondents by income and access to public sub…
