Peer reviewedCattan, Peter – Monthly Labor Review, 1991
Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth show that the lack of affordable, reliable child care was the reason an estimated 1.1 million young mothers did not seek or hold a job in 1986. One-third of those mothers not in the labor force because of child care problems also lacked high school diplomas. (SK)

Peer reviewedVeum, Jonathan R.; Gleason, Philip M. – Monthly Labor Review, 1991
Data from the National Longitudinal Survey show that most employed mothers rely on relatives for child care, particularly low-income mothers. Weekly expenditures averaged $45 for older mothers to $60 for younger mothers. Lower-income women were more likely to have gaps in employment because of child care problems. (SK)
