Trends in Parental Time Allocated to Child Care: Evidence from Canada, 1986–2010

Abstract: This study finds a continuous and dramatic increase in parental time spent in child care in Canada from 1986 to 2010. Decomposition of the increase shows that it occurs within demographic groups and does not reflect demographic changes.

“…Parents have increased their time spent on childcare over the past decades in Canada, the U.S., and similar Western countries (Bianchi, 2000; Bianchi et al., 2006; Craig et al., 2014; Dotti Sani & Treas, 2016; Guppy et al., 2019; Moyser & Burlock, 2018; Sayer et al., 2004; Wei, 2020). In Canada, parents devoted over 3 hours per day in 2015 to childcare activities, up from about 2 hours in 1986 (Guppy et al., 2019).…”
