Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Blau has chosen seven economists to write chapters that review the emerging economic literature on the supply of child care, parental demand for care, child care cost and quality, and to discuss the implications of these analyses for public policy. The book succeeds in presenting that research in understandable terms to policy makers and serves economists as a useful review of the child care literature....provides an excellent case study of the value of economic analysis of public policy issues." —Arleen Leibowitz, Journal of Economic Literature "There is no doubt this is a timely book....The authors of this volume have succeeded in presenting the economic material in a nontechnical manner that makes this book an excellent introduction to the role of economics in public policy analysis, and specifically child care policy....the most comprehensive introduction currently available." —Cori Rattelman, Industrial and Labor Relations Review

Book Synopsis Work-Family Challenges for Low-Income Parents and Their Children by : Ann C. Crouter
Download or read book Work-Family Challenges for Low-Income Parents and Their Children written by Ann C. Crouter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area of work and family is a hot topic in the social sciences and appeals to scholars in a wide range of disciplines. There are few edited volumes in this area, however, and this may be the only one that focuses on low-income families--a particularly important group in this era of welfare-to-work policy. Interdisciplinary in nature, the volume brings together contributors from the fields of psychology, social work, sociology, demography, economics, human development and family studies, and public policy. It presents important work-family topics from the point of view of low-income families at a time in history when welfare to work programs have become standard. Divided into four parts, each section addresses a different aspect of the topic, consisting of a big picture lead essay which is followed by three papers that critique, extend, and supplement the final paper. Many of the chapters address important social policy issues, giving the volume an applied focus which will make it of interest to many groups. Serving to organize the volume, these issues and others have been encapsulated into four sets of anchor questions: *How has the availability, content, and stability of the jobs available for the working poor changed in recent decades? How do work circumstances for low-income families vary as a function of gender, family structure, race, ethnicity, and geography? What implications do these changes have for the widening inequality between the haves and have-nots? *What features of work timing matter for families? What do we know about the impacts of shift work, long hours, seasonal work, and temporary work on employees, their family relationships, and their children's development? *How are the child care needs of low-income families being met? What challenges do these families face with regard to child care, and how can child-care services be strengthened to support parents and to enhance child development? *How are the challenges of managing work and family experienced by low-income men and women? The primary audience for the book is academicians and their students, policy specialists, and people charged with developing and evaluating family-focused programs. The volume will be appropriate for classroom use in upper-level undergraduate courses and graduate courses in the fields of family sociology, demography, human development and family studies, women's studies, labor studies, and social work.
Book Synopsis Child Care Choices, Consumer Education, and Low-income Families by : Anne W. Mitchell
Download or read book Child Care Choices, Consumer Education, and Low-income Families written by Anne W. Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, the National Center for Children in Poverty undertook a study of low-income parents as child care consumers. The study involved a review of current research findings, interviews with staff of child resource and referral agencies, and an examination of child care consumer education provided in the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) program. This report presents the results of these inquiries. Chapter I identifies sources of consumer information on child care. Three public subsidy programs discussed are the Family Support Act, Child Care and Development Block Grant, and the Title IV-A At-Risk Child Care Program. Chapter II considers parents as child care consumers, examining the ways parents search for child care, the kinds of child care families use and the kinds they really want, and the child care characteristics that satisfy parents. In chapter III, the same issues are examined with respect to low-income parents. In addition, constraints facing low-income child care users, including transportation problems, time constraints, lack of money and expertise, and problems related to cultural differences, are discussed. Finally, chapter IV focuses on the provision of child care consumer education, identifying essential program features, points in time when consumer education should be provided, delivery methods, and information provided to JOBS participants. The JOBS child care consumer education report is appended. (AC)

Book Synopsis Report of the Build Subsidized Child Care Rate Policy Task Force by : Louise Stoney
Download or read book Report of the Build Subsidized Child Care Rate Policy Task Force written by Louise Stoney and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Fall of 2003, the Pennsylvania Build Initiative convened a Rate Policy Task Force to broadly examine the issue of child care rates and make recommendations for action. The Task Force goal was two-fold: (1) to suggest ways that the rate and payment process currently used by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW) can better support the children and families who receive subsidized child care; and (2) to begin thinking about how DPW rates can be aligned with the early care and education finance approaches used by other public agencies and private funders. While Task Force members represented many of the Commonwealth's early childhood programs and fund administrators, the group decided early on that it was essential to gather information from a much broader group of providers, consumers and administrators. To this end, Task Force members suggested that a series of forums--discussion groups guided by facilitators and a common set of questions--be convened across the state. The Pennsylvania Child Care Association (PACCA) agreed to coordinate this effort. In February and March of 2004, forums were held in the following eight regions: Lehigh, Norristown, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Scranton, Monroeville, Franklin and State College. Lessons learned from the forum, coupled with ideas and research gleaned from Task Force members, form the basis of this report. Section I summarizes key issues raised at the forums, and includes concerns and suggestions made by forum participants. Section II summarizes Task Force deliberations, research and ideas from other states. Section III offers recommendations from the Task Force. Early Learning Team Rate Policy Task Force Provider Forum Discussion Guide is appended. (Contains 16 footnotes.).

Book Synopsis Issues in Child Care by : Charmaine Achin
Download or read book Issues in Child Care written by Charmaine Achin and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A majority of states used funding from the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) in fiscal year 2017 to entirely or mostly support 7 of 10 major state child care activities. Chapters 1 and 2 examine the extent to which states use CCDF funds to support their child care system, the kinds of CCDF-related activities states engage in that affect children who are not receiving CCDF subsidies, and how states plan to use the increase in CCDF funding from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018. Each year, millions of children age 5 and under receive publicly funded early care and education (ECE) services. Chapter 3 examines the number and characteristics of state ECE programs and the extent to which they share characteristics or overlap with federal or other state programs; and how states fund their ECE programs, including any related benefits and challenges reported by states. Chapter 4 discusses examines the federal investment in early learning and child care programs; fragmentation, overlap, and duplication among early learning and child care programs and agencies' efforts to address these conditions; and the extent to which agencies assess performance for programs with an explicit early learning or child care purpose. The cost of safe, good-quality child care prevents many low and middle-income parents from working, or forces them to work fewer hours, or accept lower wages. The federal government provides direct support to improve child care quality and subsidise child care costs for low- and middle-income families through the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG). Chapter 5 discusses recent legislation on child care quality and access. Trauma is a widespread, harmful, and costly public health problem, and its effects are especially detrimental to children. Any frightening, dangerous, or violent event that threatens a child or their loved ones can potentially be traumatic. Chapter 6 reviews selected states' efforts to support children affected by trauma. Some international human rights standards allow broad state interventions in families based on the state's conception of the best interest of the child. These states believe it is better to remove a child from its biological parents rather than let the child stay at home. The United States has grappled with where the threshold should be for removal of children from their parents. One major consideration in this balancing of interests should be the potentially lifelong suffering and even abuse faced by children who were removed from their own families, and who remain without permanent families in the foster care system as reported in chapter 7.
Book Synopsis Crawling Behind: America's Child Care Crisis and How to Fix It by : Elliot Haspel
Download or read book Crawling Behind: America's Child Care Crisis and How to Fix It written by Elliot Haspel and published by Black Rose Writing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I’ve totally washed away the dream of having one more child.” “I had never intended to be a stay-at-home-parent, but the cost of child care turned me into one.” “We had to pull our toddler out of his program because we couldn’t afford to have two kids in high-quality care.” These are not the voices of those down on their luck, but the voices of America’s middle class. The lack of affordable, available, high-quality childcare is a boulder on the backs of all but the most affluent. Millions of hard-working families are left gasping for air while the next generation misses out on a strong start. To date, we’ve been fighting this five-alarm fire with the policy equivalent of beach toy water buckets. It’s time for a bold investment in America’s families and America’s future. There’s only one viable solution: Childcare should be free.

Download or read book In Our Hands written by Elizabeth Palley and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Working mothers are common in the United States. In over half of all two-parent families, both parents work, and women's paychecks on average make up 35 percent of their families' incomes. Most of these families yearn for available and affordable child care--but although most developed countries offer state-funded child care, it remains scarce in the United States. And even in prosperous times, child care is rarely a priority for U.S. policy makers.In In Our Hands: The Struggle for U.S. Child Care Policy, Elizabeth Palley and Corey S. Shdaimah explore the reasons behind the relative paucity of U.S. child care and child care support. Why, they ask, are policy makers unable to convert widespread need into a feasible political agenda? They examine the history of child care advocacy and legislation in the United States, from the Child Care Development Act of the 1970s that was vetoed by Nixon through the Obama administration's Child Care Development Block Grant. The book includes data from interviews with 23 prominent child care and early education advocates and researchers who have spent their careers seeking expansion of child care policy and funding and an examination of the legislative debates around key child care bills of the last half-century. Palley and Shdaimah analyze the special interest and niche groups that have formed around existing policy, arguing that such groups limit the possibility for debate around U.S. child care policy. Ultimately, they conclude, we do not need to make minor changes to our existing policies. We need a revolution"--
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 299 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.
