The division of child care among mothers, fathers, and nonparental care providers in Dutch two-parent families

Article Abstract:

Various factors influence the division of child care among mothers, fathers, and nonparental care providers in Dutch two-parent families. The factors that influence child care include mothers' potential wage rates, the number of children and the norms of the family members. Quality and availability of institutionalized care influences the choice of the mothers' care, but is ineffective on fathers' child care timings. The spouse with highest earning potential is likely to spend less time in child care. Also economy, gender roles, and education play a vital role in deciding division of child care.
