Parents and the High Price of Child Care
Date:
January, 2008
Abstract:
This report presents data on child care costs collected from a nationwide survey of state and local Child Care Resource and Referral networks and agencies. While the main findings of the update have remained the same as with previous reports, the cost of child care has increased in the United States. The update also found that child care is still expensive, child care prices are higher than other household expenses, child care is particularly unaffordable for single parents and the price of child care is rising faster than inflation. In New York, the most unaffordable state for infant care in a child care center, the cost can represent as much as 17.3% of the median household income for a two parent family. For a single parent family, it represents a whooping 57.2%.
