Abstract

|
The purpose of this study is to examine the reason why dual-income families with infants make more use of short-time child-care services (than use of full-day services) in spite that the child-care subsidy is provided based on 12-hour full-day service and what are the determining factors of short-time service using. Findings indicate that in case that dual-income family with infants uses both short-time child-care services and in-home care, using center-based child-care service is likely to be made 4 hours a day, 5 days a week steadily. And, ¡®relieving child-rearing burden of primary caregiver¡¯ and ¡®pursuing various experience and education for children¡¯ are turned out to be the reasons for using short-time center-based child-care service. Findings also prove that determinants of dual-income families¡¯ using short-time child-care services are the type of primary caregiver, mothers¡¯ working hour, the age they consider appropriate for infants to use the service, and the age of infants. In other words, dual-income families who especially care their infants primarily in home show tendency to use short-time center-based child-care services in significant relation with the determinants proven above. Based on the results of this study, further studies are needed in relation to center-based child care services in order to improve the quality of in-home care service and develop various kinds of child care service that suits parent¡¯s need.
