Increasing employment among parents of young children has fueled demand for child care and increased pressure on government and private employers to help defray child-care costs. Child care currently operates within a mixed economy of welfare provision that combines public transfers, market transactions, corporate welfare benefits, and private family and community arrangements. Recent efforts to expand federal child-care assistance have done little to simplify this system. Instead, political compromise has combined financing mechanisms—public services, public transfers, and private welfare benefits—that differ markedly in their immediate implications for the supply, quality, and availability of care and in their long-range implications for the equity and inclusiveness of the child-care system
