The Impact

This paper aims to examine the impact of the Covid-19 MCO on child care performance and the recovery strategies to be implemented for post-MCO outbreaks. The quantitative approach is used to investigate the impact of the Covid-19 MCO and to plan recovery strategies based on the questionnaire survey conducted by the child care provider. The paper discusses the provider of child care in Malaysia and shows that Covid-19 Movement Control Order (MCO) affects most child care operations in terms of their cash flow and performance. This study represented only child care providers in Malaysia's northern states who are willing to participate. Consequently, the research suggested that the holistic area in Malaysia should be covered. Extensive research is thus warranted. Child care providers should consider the recovery planning strategy for their business survival due to MCO enforcement. The paper examines the global issues of Covid-19 that lead to a partial lockdown or Movement Control Order (MCO) where the business operation is indirectly adversely affected, especially in the child care industry scenario in Malaysia

Child Care Services

Many children in Canada and the United States experience poor-quality child care on a regular basis. Under the rubric of “parent choice,” governments continue to permit a variety of licensed care providers (centers and homes) as well as unlicensed home child care providers. Research suggests, however, that parents are not well-informed consumers about child care services, unaware of even the basic characteristics of their child’s care. In this study, we provide findings from a latent profile analysis based on a conjoint survey conducted in Toronto, Canada to better understand the factors that influence parents’ decisions in selecting child care services. Based on responses from over 700 parents, we identify five classes of parents that reflect a range of preferences in selecting child care. However, most groups show a strong preference for licensed early childhood education and care (ECEC) options. Limitations of this study and implications for policy are discussed.

Israel, like most other societies, has a variety of subgroups differentiated by ascribed attitudes or characteristics which are imputed to individuals. These differences may be reflected by attitudes which are evaluative statements concerning objects, people, or events. In this study the attitudes of Israeli women—30 veterans and 30 newly arrived from the Soviet republics—toward family day-care services were examined. A number of significant differences between the study cohorts, such as amount of interaction between parents and child-care providers, were found and have implications for provision of service and absorption of immigrants.

The Impact

We develop and estimate a model of child care markets that endogenizes both demand and supply. On the demand side, families with a child make consumption, labor supply, and child-care decisions within a static, unitary household model. On the supply side, child care providers make entry, price, and quality decisions under monopolistic competition. Child development is a function of the time spent with each parent and at the child care center; these inputs vary in their impact. We estimate the structural parameters of the model using the 2003 Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, which contains information on parental employment and wages, child care choices, child development, and center quality. We use our estimates to evaluate the impact of several policies, including vouchers, cash transfers, quality regulations, and public provision. Among these, a combination of quality regulation and vouchers for working families leads to the greatest gains in average child development and to a large expansion in child care use and female labor supply, all at a relatively low fiscal cost.

The Relationship

Abstract: Technostress can be seen as a relevant factor that may affect student satisfaction and student performance. However, a lack of research has been carried out to analyse the simultaneous effect of the four technostress dimensions, namely techno-overload, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty on student satisfaction and performance expectancy. Performance expectancy is appropriate to use as an endogenous construct since this research was carried out during open and distance learning (ODL) implementation and before the final examination. Hence, this study aims to investigate the association between the four technostress dimensions towards student satisfaction. This research also seeks to examine the relationship between student satisfaction and performance expectancy among undergraduates. A total of 500 self-administered questionnaires were distributed but 458 valid questionnaires were found. All of the respondents were at the diploma level from UiTM Pahang Branch Campus. An online survey questionnaire was used since all respondents were in their hometowns due to the Malaysian government's Movement Control Order (MCO). In this study, SEM-AMOS was conducted to evaluate the measurement model and to test the hypotheses. This study found that techno-complexity displays a more significant contribution to student satisfaction and performance expectancy than techno-uncertainty. However, the results explicitly imply that the influence of techno-overload and techno-insecurity on students' satisfaction and performance expectancy is not significant.  Keywords: Performance expectancy; student satisfaction; technostress; university students
