Child Care in Mixed-Status Households

Childcare responsibilities are essential for child development and the future of our society. Yet unevenly shared childcare duties can stall the mobility trajectories of those disproportionately providing childcare. Sociologist Juan Pedroza will examine how childcare arrangements among mixed-status immigrant households differ from U.S.-born households and how these arrangements affect their social and economic mobility. He will analyze data from the American Time Use Survey for his study.
