Who’s Minding the Kids?

New data from the Census Bureau on child care arrangements will be released on Dec. 5. These data will report on child care arrangements of pre-schoolers and grade-schoolers according to various demographic characteristics of the employed/nonemployed mother as of Spring 2010. Different types of care reported include relative care, organized care facilities, and self-care. The data comes from the Survey of Income and Program Participation which is a nationwide survey but does not provide results for states or sub-state areas.
