1989
Schwenk, F.N.
During the last 5 years, families have increased their expenditures for housekeeping services, particularly for child care and home care of elderly or invalid persons. This article describes who is purchasing these services and how much they spend. A larger percentage of persons 75 years or older purchase domestic, gardening, and care services than other age groups. Child care services are purchased most often by families where both parents work, or the single parentworks. Working single parents with child care expenses spend 9% of their income for child care.
