Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Worries about the characteristics of child care arrangements may lead employed mothers of young children to have higher rates of maternal depression, including concerns about the quality and cost of care arrangements, conflict with providers. dissatisfaction when the desired type of care cannot be located, problems with missing work when the child is ill or the provider is unavailable. Building on prior sociological research using stress process theory, the current study examines the impact of different aspects of child care on maternal depression using the NICHD Study of Early Childcare. We improve on prior research in five major ways. First, we are better able to measure comprehensively the characteristics and strains of care that are hypothesized to be mechanisms leading to maternal depression. Second, we use the study�s longitudinal design to estimate fixed-effects models, which allow us to implicitly control for all time-constant variables related to depression. Fixed effects model allows us to examining of pre-selection hypothesis that mothers with higher levels of depression will chose lower quality childcare and will be less satisfied with the choice. Third, we control for job and family characteristics, which may be confounded with child care difficulties. Fourth, we examine interactions between key work/family and child care characteristics, particularly the moderating effect of role salience, income and social support. Fifth, the data gives us the unique opportunity to concentrate on mothers of youngest children, the group indicated previously as having higher rates of depression.
