Book Synopsis From Welfare to Childcare by : Natasha Cabrera
Download or read book From Welfare to Childcare written by Natasha Cabrera and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although federal and state support for childcare has increased dramatically in response to welfare work requirements, low-income families are still facing difficulties balancing work and family obligations. There is wide variation across states in the strictness of welfare work requirements and in the generosity of childcare support. In addition, the level of co-payments required and the flexibility to use subsidies for informal modes of childcare differ across states, leading families to make different childcare and employment choices. The purpose of From Welfare to Childcare is first to describe what changes occurred in childcare following the 1996 welfare reform legislation, and then to analyze how federal welfare and subsidy policies influence the availability, accessibility, and quality of childcare arrangements for single mothers with young children. National in scope, it focuses on how the reforms influence the way that children are cared for when their mothers leave welfare and enter the workforce. This book is suitable for national, state, and local policymakers, non-profit organizations that study and attempt to influence public policy, and scholars interested in family and social policy issues. It can be used as a text in graduate level courses on welfare, poverty, and children and public policy.

Book Synopsis Caring for Children in Low-income Families by : April A. Brayfield
Download or read book Caring for Children in Low-income Families written by April A. Brayfield and published by The Urban Insitute. This book was released on 1993 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the care arrangements of children under age 13 who are in families with annual incomes below $15,000 using nationally representative data from the National Child Care Survey 1990 and its low-income-data supplement. Although many low-income children are cared for exclusively by their parents, supplementary care arrangements play an important part in the lives of the majority of low-income children. For many families, child care consists of a combination of arrangements, and many children use more than one type each week. One of the most important findings is that care arrangements used by children with employed mothers are quite similar to those used by unemployed mothers enrolled in education or training programs. Child care financially burdens many families, and low-income families spend a substantially greater share of their income on the care of their children. Families in poverty spend an even higher proportion of their family budget on child care than other low-income families. Nevertheless, the majority of low-income families report that they do not receive any financial assistance with their supplemental arrangements. Four appendixes provide information about the study methodology and a glossary. Eleven tables, 36 figures. (Contains 5 references.) (Author/SLD)
Book Synopsis Who Cares for our Children? by : Valerie Polakow
Download or read book Who Cares for our Children? written by Valerie Polakow and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valerie Polakow spent a year traveling around the country listening to low-income women from diverse backgrounds tell their stories of struggle, resilience, distress, and occasional success as they encountered ongoing child care crises. The resulting work is both a compelling account of the lived realities of the child care crisis, and an incisive critique of public policy that points to the United States as an outlier in the international community. Drawing on historical and international perspectives, Polakow creates a groundbreaking analysis of child care as a human right, persuasively arguing for a universal child care system. “Who Cares for Our Children? is one of the most disturbing books I have read in a long time. It should have a major impact on debates over poverty and social policy.” —From the Foreword by Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed “In this beautifully written and provocative volume, Polakow deftly steps aside and lets real mothers, struggling against the odds to keep their families safe and sound, speak for themselves about what they need. This book delivers a timely message: Child care should be viewed as a human right.” —Martha F. Davis, Northeastern University School of Law “A collection of moving and often chilling personal narratives. . . . Who Cares for Our Children? is a powerful and well-documented analysis of the worlds of low-income families.” —Beth Blue Swadener, Arizona State University “Thoroughly researched and grounded in a heartfelt sympathy for the struggles of families . . . that face such painful choices and dilemmas in meeting the needs of their children.” —James Garbarino, Loyola University Chicago

Book excerpt: Changes in Hourly Fee Rates for Science and Technology Laboratory Services - Fiscal Years 2007-2009 (US Agricultural Marketing Service Regulation) (AMS) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Changes in Hourly Fee Rates for Science and Technology Laboratory Services - Fiscal Years 2007-2009 (US Agricultural Marketing Service Regulation) (AMS) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is changing the hourly fee rates for Science and Technology (S&T) Laboratory Services. The agency is raising these rates to reflect, among other factors, national and locality pay increases for Federal employees and inflation, operating costs, instrumentation and training, and program and agency administrative overhead costs. In the past, AMS has amended its regulations on an as needed basis in order to recover laboratory program costs. With this regulation, AMS is providing for three annual standard hourly fee rate increases for fiscal years 2007-2009. This will provide the agricultural commodity industries and other stakeholders with more timely and relevant information regarding user fees for voluntary laboratory testing services. The agency is also removing tables and schedules with listings of individual tests and services. Three annual hourly fee rate adjustments are established by this action for appeals, holiday, and overtime services to reflect the anticipated increase cost of providing these laboratory services each fiscal year. The regulations also are updated to identify current facility addresses. Part 92 is obsolete and therefore has been removed. This book contains: - The complete text of the Changes in Hourly Fee Rates for Science and Technology Laboratory Services - Fiscal Years 2007-2009 (US Agricultural Marketing Service Regulation) (AMS) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

Book Synopsis Putting Children First by : Ajay Chaudry
Download or read book Putting Children First written by Ajay Chaudry and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2004-07-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the five years following the passage of federal welfare reform law, the labor force participation of low-income, single mothers with young children climbed by more than 25 percent. With significantly more hours spent outside the home, single working mothers face a serious childcare crunch—how can they provide quality care for their children? In Putting Children First, Ajay Chaudry follows 42 low-income families in New York City over three years to illuminate the plight of these mothers and the ways in which they respond to the difficult challenge of providing for their children’s material and developmental needs with limited resources. Using the words of the women themselves, Chaudry tells a startling story. Scarce subsidies, complicated bureaucracies, inflexible work schedules, and limited choices force families to piece together care arrangements that are often unstable, unreliable, inconvenient, and of limited quality. Because their wages are so low, these women are forced to rely on inexpensive caregivers who are often under-qualified to serve the developmental needs of their children. Even when these mothers find good, affordable care, it rarely lasts long because their volatile employment situations throw their needs into constant flux. The average woman in Chaudry’s sample had to find five different primary caregivers in her child’s first four years, while over a quarter of them needed seven or more in that time. This book lets single, low-income mothers describe the childcare arrangements they desire and the ways that options available to them fail to meet even their most basic needs. As Chaudry tracks these women through erratic childcare spells, he reveals the strategies they employ, the tremendous costs they incur and the anxiety they face when trying to ensure that their children are given proper care. Honest, powerful, and alarming, Putting Children First gives a fresh perspective on work and family for the disadvantaged. It infuses a human voice into the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of welfare reform, showing the flaws of a social policy based solely on personal responsibility without concurrent societal responsibility, and suggesting a better path for the future.

Book excerpt: As Congress considers reauthorization of the laws which provide funding for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), there is interest in understanding what accounts for recent trends in child care subsidy receipt among eligible families and what research says about subsidies¿ effects on parents¿ ability to obtain and maintain employment. This report examined: (1) trends in federal estimates of the number and proportion of eligible children and families who receive child care subsidies; (2) factors that may affect trends in estimates of the number of children served; and (3) what is known about the extent to which access to subsidies supports low-income parents¿ employment.
