Child Care and the Family-Work Balance: An International Perspective on Needs and Responses in Aboriginal Communities.
Colbert, Judith A.
Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, v7 n4 p357-67 Jul 1999
Suggests that aboriginal child-care needs relate to educational, social, and cultural requirements, as well as parental workforce participation. Contends that research is needed to test the validity of findings from mainstream societies when applied to indigenous communities. Presents examples of child-care problems and solutions to needs from Botswana, Canada, the United States, Kenya, and New Zealand. (DLH)
