Exclusion of Sick Children from Child Care Services

A survey was conducted to determine the types of problems directors of child care services experience in excluding sick children from their service. A questionnaire was sent to directors of all child care services in the Eastern Sydney Area. The major problems reported by directors were diagnosing the likely cause of illness; knowing whether the symptoms warrant exclusion; and convincing parents to keep their sick child at home. Most directors felt that parents, relatives or friends should take care of sick children. Directors also suggested that awards allowing for family leave to care for sick children, the provision of a room for sick children in the child care service, and special centres for sick children may benefit working parents with sick children. Problems associated with the exclusion of sick children would be ameliorated by the provision of more information as well as a range of alternative care arrangements for working parents with sick children.

Child Care Service

Children are one of the gifts entrusted by God Almighty to every parent. They have the obligation to supervise and maintain the development of each child. Children should also be cared for properly by their parents, but it is not uncommon for children to be cared for by others through child care services. When a child is under supervision at a child care service, there is negligence by the caregiver which causes the death of the child. Based on this background, this study aimed to describe how the legal protection for children who are left in a child care center and what are the criminal sanctions for the caregivers of child care center toward child deaths. This research was conducted using the normative legal method. The results of this study showed that children who are left in a child care center get legal protection to prevent children from getting acts that threaten the child's psyche. Legal protection is specifically regulated in Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning child protection. In addition, the criminal sanction for caregivers of child care toward the death of a child refers to article 359 of the Criminal Code with the risk of a sentence of 5 years in prison.

Urban Labour Market

In part 1 of this appear we reviewed the principal features and failures of the market for child-care services in cities. A theoretical framework was developed which generated testable labour-supply and service-supply functions. In part 2, an empirical study is reported in which aggregate versions of those functions are calibrated for the supply of labour from mothers with young children and for the supply of childminding services. Special attention has been given to creating a meaningful measure of accessible childminding services. The results indicate that urban labour-market participation among mothers with young children is very responsive to the level of accessible childminders, ceteris paribus. Further, there is evidence that, at current levels of childminding activity in the cities studied, the elasticity of labour supply with respect to service supply is approximately unity, implying that child-care supply is a binding constraint on labour-force participation. Evidence is also found to support the view that childminder supply is quite insensitive to demand.

Insight Into

Aim: We surveyed users of sick child care services about the benefits of and issues regarding such care, in order to obtain an insight into its practice. Methods: The study subjects comprised a total of 144 parents whose children had used any of the 15 sick child care facilities in Prefecture A in 2015. These parents consented to participate in the study. Using a quantitative and qualitative method, we surveyed them about their usage of sick child care, care-related requests, as well as perceived benefits and difficulties. Results: Sick child care was used mainly by children from either double-income nuclear families (n=123) or single-mother households (n=12) because of infectious diseases. The systems for reducing care fees were utilized by 58% of the single mothers. Subjects viewed the following factors as the benefits of sick child care: 1) a sense of ease achieved through appropriate and professional childcare, 2) being able to work free from anxiety, 3) a reduced burden on children and their normal development, and 4) child raising support for parents. On the basis of difficulties in utilizing sick child care, parents desired improvement in care services, such as an increase in the number of both care facilities and days such care is available, and the capacity to accept children. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that, to facilitate sick child care based on the needs of care service users, there is a need to increase the number of care facilities, and expand the capacity to accept children
