Group care for children still increasing
The Census Bureau reports more children with working mothers use day care or care in others homes, rising to 55 percent. Group care climbed from 12.5 to nearly 15 percent in five years, while at home care declined. The study cites fewer caregivers, more single parent families, and smaller families as factors. It notes rising numbers of working mothers with young children from 3.99 million in 1977 to 5.09 million in 1982.
