Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17, by school arrangement of youngest school-aged child and household income level (e.g., in Wave 3, the youngest school-aged child of 24.4% of California caregivers living in households with annual incomes below $30,000 was in a blended/hybrid (i.e., partially in person/partially remote) school arrangement at the end of the 2020-21 academic year).
Data Source: Family Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic. (Jul. 2021). Questionnaire: American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Prevent Child Abuse America & Tufts Medical Center; California oversample: Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health & California Essentials for Childhood Initiative (California Dept. of Public Health, Injury and Violence Prevention Branch & California Dept. of Social Services, Office of Child Abuse Prevention).
Footnote: Estimates exclude caregivers whose youngest school-aged child is homeschooled or does not receive formal education. The questionnaire was administered during the following periods: Nov. 9 – Dec. 11, 2020 (Wave 1); Mar. 22 – Apr. 12, 2021 (Wave 2); Jul. 8 – Jul. 27, 2021 (Wave 3). Wave 3 estimates reflect school arrangement at the end of the 2020-21 academic year; estimates for earlier waves reflect school arrangement at the time of questionnaire. These data are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. The annotation [!] indicates that the estimate’s margin of error is at least 5 percentage points but less than 10 percentage points.
