NOTE from the Canadian Social Research Links Guy:
Well, here we are at the end of another year of social research and heading into a sunny and warm summer. This is just a quick note to inform you that I'll soon be shifting gears and dusting off the ole fishing rod & reel to drown a few worms in The Mighty Ottawa River, within a five-minute walk from my home. Consequently, I'll be taking breaks from my site and newsletter for varying periods until the Fall. From time to time, though, I'll want to share some new info or maybe even a joke or two to tide you over until the leaves start falling...

What's new from the Childcare Resource and Research Unit

An economic perspective on the current and future role of nonprofit
provision of early learning and child care services in Canada: Final report
http://www.childcarecanada.org/documents/research-policy-practice/07/04/economic-perspective-current-and-future-role-nonprofit-prov
May 2018 | Canada
This Canada-wide study published in 2007, examines four different data sets
over three years in an effort to understand the relationships between auspice
and quality. Authors assert that, "the gross pattern is remarkably uniform"
(Cleveland et al., 2007, p.14), with non-profits producing a higher quality
of care compared to for-profit operations (outliers are of course present).
The project includes a literature review, statistical analysis of prominent
data sets, interviews with key informants, and information presented in a detailed
and non-binary fashion. The report remains relevant today.
Parental-leave policy for male lawyers in Helsinki and Montreal
http://www.childcarecanada.org/documents/research-policy-practice/18/05/parental-leave-policy-male-lawyers-helsinki-and-montreal
30 May 2018 | International
In this study, authors interview male lawyers in an effort to determine their
attitudes to taking paternity and parental leave when it is legislated. Québecois
fathers were less likely than their Finnish counterparts to take leave; this
is hypothesized to be related to the age of the policy (2006 and 1978, respectively)
and differences in work cultures. Authors suggest policy is the first step,
with more needed in terms of changing social mores.
International perspectives on quality in mixed economics of
childcare
http://www.childcarecanada.org/documents/research-policy-practice/18/05/international-perspectives-quality-mixed-economics-childc-0
30 May 2018 | International
"This paper briefly reviews international perspectives on quality in mixed
economies of childcare. It explores the particular features of the childcare
market and suggests that conventional economic rationales do not apply in such
a market. It claims that, contrary to government predictions, competition in
the private for-profit childcare sector does not lead to ‘quality’
childcare" (Penn, 2009, Abstract).
Early care and education policies and programs to support healthy
eating and physical activity: Best practices and changes over time

30 May 2018 | United States
American researchers reviewed literature and policies pertaining to obesity
prevention, healthy eating behaviours and screen time between 2010-2016 within
the early years sector. Recommendations include multi-pronged interventions
and partnering with parents, suggestions for future research and policy development
are made.
Work activity of families with children in Canada, 2005 to
2015

23 May 2018 | Canada
Statistics Canada presents the first of a series intended to shed light on a
range of social and economic issues across the country based on analysis of
the 2016 Census results. Among other findings, labour force participation among
couple parents of young children is highlighted as being comparatively less
than other couples.

and rely on our publications, research and information sharing.

NOTE: (by Gilles)
I've decided to suspend any further updates to the CRINMAIL newsletter archive
because of Internet gremlins. If you click on "Gilles' CRINMAIL Archive"
below, you'll note that the latest issue of CRINMAIL is dated December 2016,
because that's when I ceased updating the Archives pages for several online
newsletters, some that went right back to Y2K. I've left those pages online
but I won't be updating them.
Here's the link to the latest release of CRINMAIL :
30 May 2018 - CRINmail issue 1584
