The Influences from the Satisfaction in the Employer-Supported Child-Care Centers and Marital Satisfaction on Parenting Stress of Working Parents with Young Children

We examine how the shift to remote work altered responsibilities for domestic labor among partnered couples and single parents. The study draws on data from a nationally representative survey of 2,200 US adults, including 478 partnered parents and 151 single parents, in April 2020. The closing of schools and child care centers significantly increased demands on working parents in the United States, and in many circumstances reinforced an unequal domestic division of labor.

Employment Concerns

Employed mothers of young children worry about the effects of daily separation on their children Do fathers have similar anxieties? Because fathers are expected to leave the home and go to work, psychologists have not studied fathers' concerns about daily separation from their babies and preschool children In this study, we investigated fathers' and mothers' separation anxiety and the relationships between separation anxiety and family and child-care characteristics The sample included 589 married couples from a larger study of families and center-based child care Data were collected through in-home and center visits Fathers and mothers had similar levels of Separation Anxiety However, fathers reported slightly higher Concern for the Child, and mothers reported higher Employment Concerns Fathers' perceptions of their wives' anxieties were higher by half a standard deviation compared with mothers' reports Fathers' and mothers self-reported separation anxieties were modestly correlated Paternal separation anxiety was most strongly associated with fathers' perceptions of their wives' separation concerns, not with mothers' reported anxieties, which suggested ego defensiveness and projection

Care Workers

Care of ill children who normally attend out-of-home child care programs poses a problem for many working parents, employers, and child care workers. Children cared for in child care centers have an increased incidence of illness and consequently their parents miss work more often compared with children cared for in other child care arrangements. Programs for the care of ill children are discussed to provide the practicing pediatrician with an understanding of the various programs currently or potentially available in the community. The paper ends with a discussion of the various solutions to enhance the economic gains of working parents while serving the need of children for nurturant care.
