This report profiled Albertan children (0 to 8 years old) who were Child Care Subsidy (CCS) recipients from 2005/06 to 2010/11. Analyses examined these individuals’ sociodemographic characteristics and public service use patterns. This report found that (1) Edmonton and South Alberta region had higher proportions of CCS recipients than other regions, (2) recipients of CCS had higher use of social supports, rates of residential mobility, and low socioeconomic status neighbourhood occupancy than non-recipients, and (3) child care use patterns changed between 2005/06 to 2010/11. These findings provide policy-relevant evidence that public authorities may consider as they seek to better support CCS dependents.engUnless otherwise indicated, this material is protected by copyright and has been made available with authorization from the copyright owner.
