| ! Interpret data with caution; coefficient of variation is 50 percent or more. | ||||
| 1 Estimates indicate out-of-pocket expenses per hour for after-school care of a given type, per student. For students with more than one arrangement of a given type, the expenses for each arrangement of that type are summed to calculate the total spent per hour for that type of after-school care. | ||||
| 2 “Other race, non-Hispanic” includes children who were multiracial and not of Hispanic ethnicity, or who were American Indian or Alaska Native, or were not Hispanic, White, Black, Asian, or Pacific Islander. | ||||
| 3 Complete descriptions of the categories for parents' language are as follows: (1) “Both/only parent(s) learned English as child(ren) or currently speak(s) English in the home,” (2) “One of two parents learned English as a child or currently speaks English in the home,” and (3) “No parent learned English as a child and both/only parent(s) currently speak(s) a non-English language in the home.” | ||||
| 4 Students without mothers living in the household are not included in estimates related to mother's education, enrollment, employment status, or work shift. | ||||
| 5 Work shifts were collapsed into two categories: regular and variable work shifts. A regular work shift is one with set hours. A variable shift is one that changes from days to evenings or nights regardless of whether the hours are set by the employer or the employee. The number of hours worked was not considered in the creation of this variable. | ||||
| 6 Parents or guardians respond “yes” or “no” to the question: “Are there any conditions in your neighborhood that make you worried about the health or safety of ((CHILD)/any of the children) in your household?” | ||||
| 7Students are considered poor if they were living in households with incomes below the poverty threshold, which is a dollar amount determined by the federal government to meet the household's needs, given its size and composition. | ||||
| NOTE: Estimates include students in kindergarten through eighth grade, not older than 15 years, not homeschooled, and with at least one weekly after-school care arrangement with out-of-pocket expense. Students for whom no fee was charged, for whom another source paid the entire fee for after-school care, or for whom the period of time covered by the amount indicated (e.g., per hour, per week, etc.) could not be determined are exclude from the estimates. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||
