Examining cost fulfillment: child care policy and strategies
Examining cost fulfillment: child care policy and strategies
Most advanced industrialized countries have established social support to aid families in
balancing productive and reproductive labor during child-bearing years. Secondary data analysis was
used to examine patterns of public support for low-income working families. Key findings highlight
four types of policy strategies (Conservative, Limited, Average, and Universal) suggesting differentiated
social citizenship opportunities based on place of residence. This research highlights how a
complex policy environment contributes to unintended consequences as the working poor are exposed
to child care and employment instability. Future research should consider how the policy environment
contributes to material well-being in families during the life course.

Abstract
Most advanced industrialized countries have established social support to aid families in
balancing productive and reproductive labor during child-bearing years. Secondary data analysis was
used to examine patterns of public support for low-income working families. Key findings highlight
four types of policy strategies (Conservative, Limited, Average, and Universal) suggesting differentiated
social citizenship opportunities based on place of residence. This research highlights how a
complex policy environment contributes to unintended consequences as the working poor are exposed
to child care and employment instability. Future research should consider how the policy environment
contributes to material well-being in families during the life course.
