Child Care Arrangements in Urban and Rural Areas
(Report)
|
Author(s): Kendall Swenson |
Organization(s): ASPE |
This paper compares non-parental care arrangements of pre-school age children in urban and rural areas of the United States using data from the 2005 National Household Education Survey (NHES), Early Childhood Program Participation Survey (ECPP). Data from the NHES show that among preschool-age children, those in rural areas are about as likely as those in urban areas to receive care from someone other than their parents on a weekly basis. The NHES data also show that when rural children participate in non-parental care they are more likely than urban children to receive this care from relatives and are less likely to receive care in center programs. Additionally, rural children are in families that, on average, made fewer out-of-pocket contributions toward the cost of their care. |

Child Care Subsidies in Urban and Rural Counties
(Report)
|
Author(s): Kendall Swenson |
Organization(s): ASPE Staff |
This paper examined the extent to which subsidies from the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) served families in urban and rural areas of the country in FY 2004. Overall, the analysis found that the distribution of CCDF caseloads approximately matched the distribution of children (all incomes) residing in those areas. In addition, the study also compared the characteristics of subsidy recipients in urban and rural areas of the country and found that urban and rural caseloads had many similarities. For example, CCDF families in both urban and rural areas predominately used the program to attend work (verses training activities) and, on average, their children were in subsidized care for over 30 hours per week. |
