The Short-Term Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Single Mothers’ Income Sources and Economic Wellbeing
The economic downturn triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread economic harm to families across the United States. Single-mother families with young children were particularly vulnerable to these negative effects as many were already in precarious economic positions. Given the harmful effects of economic deprivation in early childhood on children’s lifelong health and wellbeing, it is critical to understand whether the unprecedented s…
Are Parental Nonstandard Work Schedules a Barrier to Their School Involvement
Parental school involvement is consistently associated with better child development outcomes. Although parental work schedules are expected to shape school involvement, little empirical research examines this relationship. Using nationally representative data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Cohort 2010 to 2011 ( N = 6,047), we estimated associations between parents’ work schedules and multiple indicators of school invol…

Tag-Team Parenting
refers to parents who work nonoverlapping or desynchronized schedules and is likely driven by parents' job demands as well as access to and preferences for nonparental childcare. Dual-earner parents with young children are more likely than other couples to work more desynchronized schedules. Yet little is known as to whether their propensity to work desynchronized schedules has changed over time given vast changes in maternal employment and the e…
Early care and education teachers’ job search behaviors and turnover intentions during the Covid-19 pandemic
Trends in Mothers’ Work Schedules in the United States, 1988–2019
The latter half of the twentieth century saw dramatic increases in mothers’ labor force participation rates, accompanied by declining job quality and increasing labor market inequality. Despite evidence of growing labor market inequality in wages and benefits, less is known about how job quality changed with respect to work schedules. This study tests the hypothesis that mothers’ employment in jobs with nonstandard schedules increased between 198…
Examining the Role of Public Pre-K Expansions in the Changing Supply of Child Care in Wisconsin
Trends in child support receipt and regularity in the United States, 1996-2018
ObjectiveThis study examined trends in child support receipt and regularity in the U.S. from 1996 to 2018, as well as whether inequality in these child support outcomes has grown by mothers' education, marital status, and race.BackgroundChild support from noncustodial fathers is an important income source for custodial mothers. Yet, many custodial mothers do not receive any child support or receive irregular payments. Demographic, economic, and p…
Mothers’ Work Schedules and Children’s Time with Parents
Associations between parental precarious work schedules and child behavior problems among low‐income families
Objective This study examined associations between parental precarious work schedules and child behavior problems among a sample of families with low incomes receiving child‐care subsidies and tested three hypothesized mediators of these associations: work–family conflict, economic insecurity, and child‐care instability. Background As “just‐in‐time,” or on‐call, scheduling practices become more prevalent among low‐paid workers, working parents mu…

The Effects of State Workplace Pregnancy Accommodation Laws on Women’s Employment and Income during Pregnancy
Prior to the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (2022), pregnant workers’ access to workplace accommodations depended on whether they lived in a state with a pregnancy accommodation law. Without accommodations, some pregnant women continue working, possibly endangering their health, and others are forced to exit the labor force. Using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation 1996–2020 panels (N=8,012 births), we exploit variati…
How Is Child Support Regularity Associated with Custodial Mothers’ Employment? Evidence from the United States
Custodial mothers experience high rates of poverty and income volatility in the United States. Emerging evidence suggests that the regularity of child support is positively associated with the regularity of family income and ability to meet basic needs. However, we know little about how child support regularity matters for mothers’ employment. In this study, we examine the associations between child support regularity and custodial mothers’ emplo…
Making Sense of Childcare Instability Among Families with Low Incomes
Childcare instability can negatively affect family well-being. Yet not all childcare changes are bad for families. This qualitative study (N = 85) examines work, family, provider, and subsidy-related factors contributing to childcare changes among families with low incomes. We focus on the desirability—the extent to which parents wanted to leave their provider—and the planned nature of childcare changes—the extent to which parents anticipated the…

How Is Instability in Child-Care Subsidy Use Associated with Instability in Child-Care Arrangements
Federal child-care subsidies through the Child Care and Development Fund support low-income parents’ employment and their children’s development. However, unstable patterns of subsidy use may be associated with instability in care arrangements and with potential negative consequences for parental employment and child well-being. Using a unique data set that links longitudinal administrative subsidy records to survey and child-care calendar data, …
Mothers' Work Schedule Inflexibility and Children's Behavior Problems
Flexibility in work schedules is key to helping parents with young children balance work and caregiving responsibilities. Prior research shows that work schedule inflexibility is associated with greater parenting stress and work-family conflict. Through these negative implications for parental well-being, work schedule inflexibility may also adversely influence children's socio-emotional development. This study uses data from an urban, birth-coho…
Nonstandard Work Schedules and Father Involvement Among Resident and Nonresident Fathers
ObjectiveThe authors examined associations between resident and nonresident fathers' nonstandard work schedules, work hours, and their level of involvement with their young children in the United States.BackgroundNonstandard work schedules may negatively impact father involvement either directly by reducing fathers' availability or indirectly by taking a toll on their well-being. Prior research on nonstandard schedules and father involvement has …
Do Parental Work Hours and Nonstandard Schedules Explain Income-Based Gaps in Center-Based Early Care and Education Participation
Despite increases in public funding for early care and education (ECE) programs in recent decades, low-income children ages 0–5 years are less likely to be enrolled in center-based ECE programs compared with higher-income children. Low-income working parents are also more likely to work jobs with nonstandard schedules, which are associated with lower rates of center-based ECE. This study examines whether parents’ work hours and nonstandard schedu…

What Explains Short Spells on Child-Care Subsidies
Child-care assistance is a critical safety net program that directly benefits families and society. But short spells and program churning raise concerns about the effectiveness of the child-care subsidy program to support stable employment and contribute to long-term family economic stability. On the basis of data that link administrative child-care assistance records with survey data on a sample of subsidy recipients in Illinois and New York, we…
Child-Care Instability and Behavior Problems
Child-care instability is associated with more behavior problems in young children, but the mechanisms of this relationship are not well understood. Theoretically, this relationship is likely to emerge, at least in part, because care instability leads to increased parenting stress. Moreover, low socioeconomic status and single-mother families may be more vulnerable to the effects of instability. This study tested these hypotheses using data from …
