This study examines how different patterns of using subsidised after-school programmes reduce self-care time for elementary-school students in Korea. We focus on four types of after-school care programme that have not been dealt with in existing research. For the analyses, Tobit regression models were performed using the data from the 2020 After-School Care Status and Demand Survey. The results of the analysis indicate that each subsidised after-school programme is significantly associated with reducing self-care time. Using only private care services such as private home tutoring and institutes, and other enrichment activities, increases self-care time; however, if a mixture of after-school programmes is available, this can be effective in reducing the self-care time of children. Furthermore, in the case of dual earner households, the higher the income level, the longer the self-care time.
On the other hand, in the case of the single-earner households, the lower the income level, the longer the self-care time. This is consistent with the argument that a targeted programme has the potential to increase self-care time. Based on the findings, we suggest that it is necessary to expand the eligibility criteria of the subsidised after-school programmes and adopt a progressive fee imposition system to reduce self-care time for children.
