Children of the NLSY Go to Child Care Working Paper, Charlottesville NC: Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, 1990 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Psychology , University of Virginia Keyword(s): Child Care; Infants; Maternal Employment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. As non-maternal child care has become an increasingly normative experience for American children, empirical questions about child care have expanded to encompass a broad of array of outcomes, moderating variables, populations, and patterns of reliance on care. The Children of the National Longitudinal Study database offers the opportunity to examine many of these contemporary questions that are not easily addressed in the single-site, small scale, nonrepresentative samples to which developmentalists are typically restricted. This article reviews a range of child care issues that are amenable to analysis with the Children of the NLSY dataset. Several strengths and limitations of the dataset are discussed. Descriptive data concerning families' child care use in 1986, patterns of reliance on infant day care, and expenditures on child care are presented. Additional methodological, policy, and theoretical issues that can be addressed with the Children of the NLSY dataset are a lso described. |
