香港的兒童照顧服務雖然發展多年,但近年不少父母(特別是基層家庭),一直反映服務未能滿足他們的需要。在兒童照顧服務不足的情況下,低收入家庭的母親難以透過外出就業賺取收入維持家庭開支。本研究對現時0-12歲的兒童照顧服務進行分析,疏理出整體概況,更深入地回應上述與兒童發展、婦女就業與發展和低收入家庭相關的問題。
Although a range of services has been developed, many parents, especially parents of low income families in the community still find that their need for child care services has not been met. The difficulties in finding child care places have subsequently affected their (especially for mothers in low income families) opportunities to seek gainful employment to improve the household income and well being. This study on day care services for children aged 0-12 is to address the aforesaid issues on children’s development, women’s development, and specific situation of low income families in Hong Kong.
