Necessary Directions for Anthropological Research on Child Care in the United States.

Zimmer, Richard

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v10 n3 p139-65 Fall 1979

Qualitative anthropological research on formal and informal child care arrangements is lacking. Research topics should include: informal arrangements such as babysitting and sibling care; comparative ethnographies of different types of centers; centers' effects on children's experiences; staff-parent interaction; and the effects of government intervention on center operations.
