Abstract | To determine what child care arrangements are made by employed mothers, how much they spend for child care, and their potential use of other arrangements including day care, a study was conducted in the Pittsburgh area early in 1973. Included were four work settings which employ women in a variety of occupations. A structured questionnaire was mailed to 819 women workers: (1) white collar workers at two universities, (2) unskilled and professional workers in a hospital, and (3) semi-skilled workers in a food processing plant. The distribution of the responses to the questionnaire, an analysis of the factors affecting the mode of child care and the level of child care expenditures are included in this general description of the study and its findings. In general, the respondents were satisfied with their current arrangements, but expressed support for government or industry-related child care arrangements which would be easily assessible and inexpensive.
