Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have been forced by economic necessity to work outside the home in large numbers since the 1960s. This sociological and economic shift has created a need for child care on a large scale since women are often unavailable to carry it out. The lower down the economic ladder a person is, the more likely that child care is a crucial issue. This book deals primarily with the issue of the federal and state governments in providing child care by means of grants, subsidies and welfare reforms.
