Excerpt from abstract: This article examines the childcare services industry in Canada, and is divided into three parts. The first analyses the demand for childcare services, including the $3.5 billion that households spent on these services. Part two examines the financial characteristics of the industry and the roles played by the non-profit sector and government fee-subsidy and grant programs. The final section looks at characteristics of the childcare workforce.
