Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of program participation and employment stability for rural and urban families in Oregon childcare subsidy program. While families’ demographic characteristics, employment stability, and participation in work support programs were similar, families in rural noncore counties tended to make less use of public assistance, including childcare subsidies, food stamps and welfare, than did families in metropolitan and micropolitan counties.
