Cultural and Economic Factors Influencing Children's Preschool Attendance

Based on the author's Harvard Graduate School of Education doctoral dissertation, this study examines children's preschool in the context of increasing reliance on non-parental care by US families, female labor force participation, the social welfare trend, and disparities among diverse ethnic groups. Other chapters include a review of relevant literature; discussion of the data and analytical methods used; findings; and policy and research implications. An index is included, but it's sparse.
