Abstract

Basing their analysis on the American Time Use Survey, Connelly and Kimmel delve into the time use of mothers of preteenaged children in the United States and connect their time uses with their children’s development. This leads to interesting findings that should inform policymakers addressing issues related to taxation, education, and child care subsidies.
