[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot study this well—at least in the U.S. Many American sahm’s are lower income and uneducated. Many well-resourced professional parents have flexibility and money that counteracts the negative effects of daycare. But IF you could hold all variables the same you have to be insane to think a 0-2 child prefers institutional care staffed by low wage workers (kind as they may be) to a parent or grandparent. I would say 0-6 but 0-2 is the most critical as anyone who has ever spent time with a toddler would realize[/quote] To add, how exactly do you hold all variables the same when childcare choices directly impact other aspects of family wellbeing, like income, mental health and even parental educational attainment in some cases? Who do you compare the family with the SAHM to? The family with the same income but from two earners, or the family with the income the SAHM family would have if the SAHM had not decided to stay home? [/quote]
