Cogent, successful choices in business, government, and public service require precise data about the populations served. It is therefore necessary to gather cyclical information about such population groups, their growth and change, and the available choices concerning them as a basis for appropriate decisions. One area of such informrtion-based decisions which is increasingly important is the area of child care. As more and more wamen with children (who traditionally have remained at home) are entering the labor force, it io critical from many I concerned perspectives that the populations and facilities I involved in this particular process bra enumerated and evaluated. It is the intention of the Childcwe Resaurce Service to offer accurate, objective data and informational support so that useful decisions may bra made in planning to meet child cars and development needs. i 1 I .. The final word on all population data comes from the Census Bureau in Washington, D. C. All other agencies dealing with census data for the U.S.A. use this data both as a comparative baser for their own population surveys and a source of data for informative decision-making. The Census Bureau has a reputation among demographers for being accurate and conservative in its figures and estimates. For its demarkation borders it uses census tracts which are further collected into larger geographical areas. The population data appropriate for the purpose of this report follows: ** 1980 DATA --- ---- SRA total population sa-u3 Percent increase 1980-85--21&% -198S-86---2._~-,-, * It must be emphasized that these figures art? carefully projected porportions based onr ages o-l--~~-,l-2-,~~~--3-~--~Q~--6-9---~~~-10-13--2~~2--- total child population 0-13--rQJ35 - 1 --------.------.---------------------------------------------- the actual population totals of 1980 and 1985, the actual breakouts of these specific ages in 1980, the percentile of increase since 1980 for this area, and a proximate comparison of the boundries of zip codes;, census tracts, and sub-reqional areas. It may NOT include all local factors which would affect population growth and/or the need for child care which have occurred since 1980. It is therefore a carefully prepared estimate. ** All population f iguresaf age-groupings are inclusive throughout this repurt. 1This is the camtywide percentile of increase; there is no SRA percentile available at this time, 4 ..

The borders of these areas when superimposed upon one another do not often precisely coincide, so that the information given herein -- while accurate, correspondent between areas, and useful- is not completely reciprocal.

Friedman Chld care for “lncreasinglJ5 child care is a competitive issue: Will it help attract hds and hold woxkers, employees’ reduce turnover, and accidents!” absenteeism, enoz A .. . At a recent Harvard Univer- sity seminar for executives, partici- pants were asked to estimate the per- centage of their workers who are in families in which the male breadwin- ner is the sole support of his at-home wife and children. The answers ranged from 4036 to 70%. But only 10% of U.S. households iit that traditional mode. About 40% oi the work force is now made up of families with both spouses workmg, with another 6% be- ing single parents. Estimates state that by 1990,6536 of people entering the la- bor market will be women (new en- trants or reentrants). Approximately 80% of working women are of child- bearing age. Ninety percent of them will become pregnant. About 60% of married men who work have wives working hi1 or part time. The needs of both mothers and fathers are already playing an expanded role in recruiting programs, benefit plans, and productiv- ity incentives. Then there are the children. People usually dunk about the young- est ones, but about a third of all Amen- Ms. Friedman is a nationally known expert on chdd care issues and a senior research associate at the Work and Family Information Center of the Conference Board. can children between 6 and 13 are home alone for some time after school. A new term has entered our vocabulary: the “three o’clock syndrome.” It refers to reduced productivity and higher error and accident rates as employees’ minds tum to their children around the time when school lets out. Why companies get involved Roughly 2,500 U.S. compa- nies help with their employees’ chdd care needs. That’s about a fourfold in- crease in four years. These companies believe that getting involved in cud care helps increase recruiting, morale, productivity, and quality, and decrease accident rates, absenteeism, tardiness, and tumovet Child care help can also re- duce the stress workers feel. A 1985 study of 650‘employees in a large, Bos- ton-based corporation reported that the stress of balancing work and family responsibilities is the heaviest conuib- utor to depression among employees, regardless of gender.’ tium of businesses to establish the After spearheading a consor- EXHIBIT 6-10-86 Northside Child Development Center in Minneapolis, Control Data Corpora- tion studied 90 employees over a 20- month period. Thirty mothers with children in Northside were matched with a sample of 30 mothers using other child care arrangements and 30 other employees with no children or grown children. The average monthly absenteeism rate for day care users m the company-sponsored center was 4.4%, compared with 6.02% for non- participants in the two control groups. The average monthly turnover rate among program users was 1.77%, com- pared with 6.3% for nonparticipants. h three national surveys of employers with child care arrange- ments, the majority of respondents re- ported that the programs had positive effects on a variety of productivity measures (see the Mzibit). Most of those executives who answered were human resource managers, and al- though they offered their conclusions as impressions rather than measured results, the reasonableness of the sur- vey results rings true. what companies save by responding to child care concems. a Portland, Oregon study shows what compdnies lose by not rtsponaing. ‘4 suzev oi more tha3 8,000 employees from 22 companies In the city found that 59% of iemale work ers with children under 12 had difhcul- ty findmg child care. &%men with chil- dren under 12 missed about 12 days of work each year. Employed iathers who had a wife or other adult at home missed 8 days of work per year - a number simi- lar to that of men with no children. The authors explain that “men’s absen- teeism rates are lower than women’s because they carry fewer child care responsibilities. Women make men‘s low rates possible.” Mothers take time off to look for care, or tend to a sick chld, or respond to a last-minute emer- gency. Absenteeism was not, therefore, a “woman’s problem” but a family solution.’ Many businesses, however - a good 44,000 in the medium- to large- size category-have taken little or no action regarding employees’ chdd care needs. Some executives see no clear ec- onomic justification for getting in- volved, either as providers of care or via arrangements with independent agen- cies, or through other assistance such as modified work schedules. They are Rather than documenting 3Lf .. 30 0 Harvard Business Review ,March-ApriI 1986 ~~ - Exhibit Results of three national - surveys of employers that provide child care sewices "What. if any, of me following changes are changes that have occurred as a result of navin aday care center for empiovees'*' Wesponaents were given a list of 7 items and were asked to indicate Whicn nad been atfected by the chiid care service. iZYon 58 employers responded. most of which were hospitals with on-site child care centers.

Only after it has established a good reputation will very many employees start to use it. Of course, compames need to assess what already exlsts m the commuruty and learn about prevaihng costs and the quality of local services, and they may identlfy commmty peo- ple to collaborate with later. Ail this is part of the job of getting started. - -- ployees' needs. Group meetings of - Expenencc shows that only Arguments for and against corporate involvement in chdd care exist. Increasingly, however, it is a com- petitive issue: Will child care help at- tract and hold workers, reduce mover, absenteeism, error, and accidents? care is likely to grow at a slow but steady pace. The movement is tem- pered by business executives who tend to proceed with caution when getting more mvolved in the personal lives of their staffs. For dus reason, companies may begin with small steps toward un- derstanding work and family issues and responding to employees' child care needs. But the Employee Benefit Research Institute predicts that chdd care will be &e fnnge benefit of the 1990s.That is likely to happen because, being sound for employees, it becomes good for business.
