A study suggests that the use of secondary child care reflects parents' efforts to enhance the quality of care. Data were drawn from the 1986 and 1988 National Longitudinal Survey Youth Cohort, the June 1982 Current Population Survey, and the 1984-85 Survey of Income and Program Participation. Logit estimates show that mothers with older children and mothers with higher wages are more likely to use a secondary care arrangement. Results also indicate that secondary care is used more often by whites and by more educated mothers. The findings suggest that the use of secondary child care does not stem from a lack of adequate and flexible primary sources of care. Instead, secondary care may be used to better suit the needs of both parents and child.

Does religious and denominational background affect earnings and human capital investment? This paper examines religious background and human capital formation for a sample of males from the year 2000 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey Youth 1979 Cohort. This survey provides information that makes it possible to control better for many components of family background in order to isolate the impact of religion and denomination. The paper contains results from analyses of men within broad religious categories as well as within various Protestant denominations, and reports results for different racial and ethnic groups. The method used for the analysis is the estimation of human capital earnings functions. The paper finds evidence that both men raised as Catholics and men raised as Jews have higher earnings, holding other characteristics constant.
