Q42851

It is recorded that as female labor increases, so does the need for other means of child care. With the cost of after school programs so high, many kids have become self-care children, and the numbers continue to rise. It is thought that if daycare or other after school programs would expand their age limitation to school aged children, many of the negative effects would change. According to Anna Aizer, children with no parental supervision after school are more likely to: skip school, use alchol and drugs, and steal or physically harm someone. There is a much larger danger factor in children under the age of 13 caring for themselves because they are not cognitively abel, according to Aizer and the textbook. Also children may not be getting the social outlet they need and may become shy and backwards. The difference in supervised and unsupervised after school children may be hardely recognizable, but can be sever in effects it has on kids who already struggle with personality issues and can be very dangerous to the childs mental and physical well being. 2851 http://www.econ.brown.edu/fac/anna_aizer/main_files/research_files/homealone.pdf
