This study finds a continuous and dramatic increase in parental time spent in child care in Canada from 1986 to 2010. Decomposition of the increase shows that it occurs within demographic groups and does not reflect demographic changes. In addition, an increased dispersion in child care time is observed that reflects changes in time allocation within demographic groups rather than demographic changes. This study also examines the positive relationship between education and child care time. Although substantial gaps in child care time are found between education groups, the magnitude of the gaps has not increased over time
