Survey about child care 1975, child 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 3,836 children are included with a separate row in the matrix. This means that information about the household is repeated for each child. In the second file, each household has a row in the matrix, and in that file only information about the youngest child is included.
