Survey about child care 1975, family sample

The survey mapped how families with children under the age of 12 dealt with the supervision of the children in 1975. Among other things, it is recorded whether the families used someone other than the guardians to regularly supervise the children who were born in 1964 or later. For each child, it was examined in more detail what kind of supervision arrangement was involved and whether the families were satisfied with their supervision arrangements.

The survey was carried out in connection with the labor force surveys in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 1975, which provides broad opportunities for analysis. A total of 2,249 families took part in the survey on child supervision. These families had a total of 3,836 children under the age of 12.

The data is available in two analysis files. In the present file, all 2,249 families are represented with their youngest child. This means that you have to use the second file to find information about how the families with several children arranged themselves for the oldest children.
