Y1 - 2011 N1 - T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - With more women seeking employment outside the home, about 11 million children under the age of 5 years spend a significant amount of time in nonparental childcare (NPCC) arrangements.1 Political, cultural, and economic factors contribute to the increasing number of children in NPCC settings in the United States. In 2006, 67 million women were employed and 75% worked full-time.2 Changes in family structure influenced the economic needs of households. Currently, about 70% of children live with two married parents. Children living in mother-only households increased steadily to 23% and in father-only households to 5% in 2006.3 Preschool-age children of working mothers spend an average of 36 hours in childcare each week.1 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=6739182 ER -
