我们分析了支持和影响美国儿童保育的政策和成本。这些政策至少有三个目标：（1）改善幼儿的认知和社会发展;（2）促进产妇就业;（3）减轻贫困。我们总结了这一政策的景观和证据的影响，他们对儿童和父母的发展。我们提供了一个非父母儿童保育服务的使用和成本的摘要;我们总结了现有的政策和计划，补贴儿童保育费用，提供儿童保育到某些群体，并规范在美国提供的服务的各个方面。然后，我们审查的证据，儿童保育政策对这些目标的影响。我们继续讨论它们对各种结果的影响的现有证据。最后，我们概述了三个改革建议，既有利于低收入母亲的工作，提高儿童保育的质量，他们的孩子接受。
We analyze policies that support and affect the provision and costs of child care in the United States. These policies are motivated by at least three objectives: (1) improving the cognitive and social development of young children, (2) facilitating maternal employment, and (3) alleviating poverty. We summarize this policy landscape and the evidence on the effects they have on the development of children and parents. We provide a summary of the use and costs of nonparental child care services; and we summarize existing policies and programs that subsidize child care costs, provide child care to certain groups, and regulate various aspects of the services provided in the United States. We then review the evidence on the effects that child care policies have on these objectives. We go on to discuss the existing evidence of their effects on various outcomes. Finally, we outline three reform proposals that will both facilitate work by low-income mothers and improve the quality of child care that their children receive.
