A cross-sectional survey of 1,754 families was conducted, and logistic regression was used to identify predictors of service utilization. The childcare enrollment rate reached 26.68%, notably higher than the national average of 7.86%. Among non-users, 51.79% reported potential demand. Key determinants of enrollment included maternal education, employment stability, and number of children. Parents prioritized institutional environment (82.37%), teacher qualifications (77.36%), and favored public centers (75.86%) over private and home-based options. Safety and supervision concerns were the main barriers, with 77.51% citing health risks. Cost was less limiting, as 83.52% accepted fees ≤ 3000 CNY/month. The findings highlight early gains from national childcare policies but also reveal critical gaps in safety regulation and public trust. Policy recommendations include expanding inclusive services, improving regulatory frameworks, and aligning service provision with family needs. This study provides timely evidence to guide high-quality, equitable childcare development in low-fertility settings.

Introduction In recent years, China has witnessed a continued decline in fertility rates alongside accelerating population aging, raising widespread concerns about the sustainability of socioeconomic development¹. Similar to China, many high-income countries have experienced prolonged periods of low fertility. In response to labor force shrinkage and mounting social pressures, these countries have widely regarded the development of childcare service systems as a key strategy to increase fertility intentions. Through policy guidance and financial investment, they have gradually shifted the care of children aged 0–3 from a private family responsibility to a component of public service systems. 2 – 3 James J. Heckman, a Nobel laureate in economics, has demonstrated through long-term empirical research that high-quality early childhood interventions can yield annual social returns of up to 13%, spanning improved educational outcomes, employment, income, and health⁴. UNESCO also emphasized in its Global Education Monitoring Report that early childhood care is crucial not only for individual cognitive and socio-emotional development but also as a foundational investment in national human capital and economic productivity⁵. Hence, building a systemic, accessible, and equitable childcare service system is not only vital for reducing the parenting burden, promoting gender equality, and enhancing job stability, but also a key condition for improving overall fertility intentions and ensuring demographic sustainability. However, traditional family care norms in China assign primary caregiving responsibilities for young children to mothers or grandparents⁶. As of 2020, among rural “left-behind” children in China, 61% were cared for solely by grandparents, 21% by mothers alone, and only 5% jointly by both parents⁷. This imbalance often results in more intense work-family conflicts for mothers than fathers, contributing to declining fertility intentions among women. Surveys have shown that 61.7% of Chinese families cite “insufficient energy for parenting” as a primary reason for not having a second child⁸, and 62.3% of families who wish to have a second child but have not done so report concerns about the lack of childcare resources⁹. Among urban families, the demand satisfaction rate for childcare services for children under age 3 remains as low as 5.5%¹⁰, revealing a significant gap between supply and demand. In response, the Chinese government has emphasized the need to build a fertility-friendly society and has identified the accessibility and quality of infant and toddler care services as critical policy priorities¹¹. Particularly for children aged 0–3, the expansion of childcare services aims not only to ease the parenting burden but also to promote early childhood development and enhance female labor force participation and gender equality. Since 2019, China has launched a series of childcare-related policies, making that year a landmark “policy starting point” for infant care services. Representative documents such as the Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Development of Care Services for Infants Under Three Years Old¹² have established a developmental model of “government-led, family-centered, and socially participated” services, marking the official integration of childcare into China’s public service system. Nevertheless, by 2024, a substantial portion of families continue to face significant parenting burdens. The dismantling of workplace welfare systems during China’s economic reforms shifted childcare responsibilities back to families, leaving infant and toddler care marginalized in policy for nearly three decades. Despite five years of policy interventions and market cultivation, the provision of care services still leans heavily on socialized, market-driven, and privately-operated models¹³. We argue that childcare services, as the core component of the broader infant care system, are pivotal to addressing childcare challenges in China and are essential for any efforts to increase fertility rates. To promote the high-quality development of childcare services, it is crucial to understand the actual demand under the current policy framework. Existing studies have mostly focused on supply-side reforms. In non-first-tier cities, systematic investigations into household-level demand, usage barriers, and service preferences remain scarce, limiting the precision and effectiveness of policy responses. Understanding whether, when, and why parents are willing to use childcare services—and the sociodemographic factors behind those decisions—can help align resource allocation with actual needs and improve the targeting of interventions. To fill this research gap, the present study conducted a cross-sectional survey of mothers with children aged 0–3 in Huzhou, a representative mid-sized city in eastern China. Huzhou was designated a national childcare model city in 2023 and reflects typical demographic and economic characteristics of third-tier cities. The findings offer data-driven insights and practical guidance for improving the childcare service system and provide a theoretical foundation for building a high-quality, affordable, and sustainable fertility support environment. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Participant Recruitment This study recruited mothers of children aged 0–3 years residing in Huzhou, an eastern coastal city in China, using a non-probability convenience sampling method. Recruitment channels included community maternal and child health hospitals, childcare service centers, and online parenting groups. Inclusion criteria were: children aged 0–3 years; mothers who voluntarily agreed to participate and could independently complete the questionnaire. Exclusion criteria included children with severe congenital diseases or refusal by the mother to participate. During the study, all participants were informed of the purpose, procedures, and confidentiality measures of the research and were required to sign an electronic informed consent form prior to participation. 2.2 Questionnaire Design The questionnaire was designed and disseminated via the Wenjuanxing platform (a professional Chinese survey tool), comprising two components: an electronic informed consent form and a structured survey titled “Survey on Childcare Service Demand for Infants and Toddlers in Huzhou.” The questionnaire consisted of two main modules: demographic information and childcare service demand. The demographic module collected participants' background data, including age, identity (e.g., mother, guardian), education level, occupation, number of children, and caregiving arrangements. These data allowed for stratified analysis of childcare needs across different maternal profiles. The childcare demand module aimed to investigate respondents' specific needs and preferences, including past childcare service use, willingness to use such services, preferred starting age, type of institution, form of care, reasons for choosing/not choosing formal childcare, and key considerations in decision-making. The questionnaire employed both single-choice and multiple-choice formats. Items regarding preferences were designed as unrestricted multiple-choice questions to capture nuanced perspectives. Items on reasons for and against childcare service use were limited to a maximum of three choices to ensure clarity and analytical feasibility. Respondents could choose up to five items for key factors influencing their childcare decisions. The questionnaire was administered in simplified Chinese to ensure comprehension. Content validity was reviewed by three maternal and child health experts, and adjustments were made based on their feedback. A pilot test was conducted with 50 target participants, yielding a Cronbach’s α coefficient of 0.82, indicating good reliability and acceptable content validity. On average, the questionnaire took approximately six minutes to complete. 2.3 Data Collection Data were collected from March to May 2024. QR codes linking to the questionnaire were distributed in the lobbies of maternal and child health hospitals and childcare service centers across districts, and were also posted in official WeChat groups for parenting affiliated with these institutions. Participants could scan the QR code to access the questionnaire. Before beginning the survey, participants were required to sign an electronic informed consent form outlining the study’s aims and data usage protocols. Each participant logged in to the survey platform using a unique mobile phone number, which restricted multiple submissions from the same individual. Most respondents completed the questionnaire at the location where the QR code was displayed. The research team conducted quality control checks on the returned questionnaires and excluded invalid responses based on the following criteria: (1) identical or patterned responses throughout; (2) completion time under 30 seconds; (3) logically inconsistent responses (e.g., mismatched caregiving arrangements); (4) batch submissions within a short time frame. All data were stored on encrypted servers to ensure confidentiality and data security. 2.4 Sample Size Calculation Based on the estimated newborn population of approximately 19,000 in Huzhou in 2024, the total number of children aged 0–3 was projected to be around 57,000. Assuming a 50% childcare service usage rate (based on the pilot study), with a 95% confidence level and a margin of error of ± 2.5%, the minimum sample size calculated using PASS 15.0 software was 1,537. Considering a 12% non-response and invalid response rate, the target sample size was set at approximately 1,750. 2.5 Statistical Analysis All analyses were performed using SPSS version 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic characteristics and childcare-related variables (frequencies and percentages). For multiple-choice items, cross-tabulations were used to explore associations between demographic variables and childcare service preferences. As missing data accounted for less than 5%, casewise deletion was applied. To identify factors associated with the willingness to use childcare services, a binary logistic regression model was employed. The dependent variable was the willingness to use formal childcare services. Independent variables included maternal age, occupation, education level, number of children, and current caregiving arrangements. All statistical tests were two-sided, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. 2.6 Ethical Statement This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Huzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital (Approval No. 2025-J-023) and adhered to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. All participants provided informed consent electronically and participated voluntarily. No financial incentives were offered. All personally identifiable information was removed prior to analysis, and only anonymized data were used. The authors declare no potential conflicts of interest. 3. Results 3.1 Basic Characteristics of the Respondents A total of 1,769 questionnaires were distributed, and 1,754 valid responses were received, yielding a response rate of 99.15%. The distribution of the number of children per household was diverse: 67.27% of families had one child, 30.05% had two children, and 2.68% had three or more children. (Here is Table 1) Table 1.

The distribution is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Overall Childcare Enrollment Status in Huzhou Category Frequency Percentage (%) Enrolled in childcare 468 26.68 Not enrolled, but plan to enroll 570 32.50 Not enrolled and do not plan to enroll 716 40.82 Total 1754 100.00 3.2.2 Influencing Factors of Childcare Enrollment Participants were categorized into two groups based on their childcare experience: those with and without childcare enrollment. A binary logistic regression model was employed to analyze associations between childcare enrollment and the following maternal and household characteristics: maternal age, educational attainment, number of children, occupational type, and the primary caregiving location of the child. Independent variable coding: Number of children: entered as a continuous variable. Maternal age: coded as 1 = ≤30 years, 2 = 31–35 years, 3 = ≥36 years. Education: 1 = high school or below, 2 = junior college, 3 = bachelor’s degree, 4 = master’s or above. Occupation: dummy variables created for occupation type, with “no fixed occupation” as the reference category. Childcare location: dummy variables created, with Deqing County as the reference. Multicollinearity: All variance inflation factors (VIFs) were <10, indicating no multicollinearity. Model fit: Likelihood ratio test was significant (p < 0.01), suggesting good model fit. Results (Table 3) showed statistically significant associations between childcare experience and maternal age, education, number of children, occupation type, and childcare location (p 0, OR > 1). Compared to mothers with no fixed occupation, those working in government, public institutions, or enterprises were significantly more likely to use childcare services. Notably, families residing in Anji County had nearly four times the odds of using childcare services compared to those in Deqing County (OR = 3.915). Table 3.

Among the 716 families without prior childcare experience and no current enrollment plan, 96 (13.41%) responded “yes” to the question “If a nearby childcare institution were available, would you consider enrolling your child?”—indicating a form of latent demand for childcare services. This suggests that while many families are not currently utilizing childcare services, a subset would be open to enrollment if favorable conditions (e.g., accessibility) were met, highlighting untapped potential demand. When combining both explicit and latent demand, 51.79% of the 1,286 families without prior enrollment exhibited a willingness to consider childcare services. Additionally, 24.63% responded that their decision “depends on the specific situation”—indicating that factors such as cost, proximity, and perceived service quality could influence future enrollment decisions. Therefore, actual demand may exceed 51.79%. Detailed results are shown in Table 4. Table 4. Willingness to Use Childcare Services Among 1,286 Families Without Prior Enrollment Willingness Category Response Type Frequency % of Total (N=1,754) % of No Experience (N=1,286) Explicit demand No prior enrollment, but plans to enroll 570 32.50% 44.32% No plans to enroll 716 40.82% 55.68% Latent demand Willing to try if nearby childcare available 96 5.47% 7.47% Depends on the situation 432 24.63% 33.59% Still unwilling to enroll 188 10.72% 14.62% 3.4 Preferences, Motivations, and Considerations for Childcare Enrollment 3.4.1 Childcare Type and Service Preferences Among the 1,038 families with either prior childcare experience or plans to enroll, the majority preferred preschool-affiliated public childcare classes. Other commonly selected options included public childcare institutions, private preschool-affiliated childcare, and community-based childcare centers. Regarding service formats, 89.60% of families preferred full-day care (early drop-off, late pick-up), though there was also considerable interest in half-day care (25.63%) and temporary care (16.96%). Table 5 showed details. 3.4.2 Reasons for Enrollment and Factors Considered in Choosing Institutions The primary reason for enrolling children in childcare, as reported by families, was not due to necessity but rather to help cultivate good habits in children (78.32%). The next most common reason was to provide children with companions (66.38%). Fewer families reported motives such as reducing parenting stress (7.71%) or alleviating burdens on grandparents (19.85%). In terms of institutional selection, parents emphasized campus environment and hardware facilities (82.37%) and staff qualifications (77.36%) as the most critical factors. Distance from home (66.67%) and food quality (62.52%) were also important, while factors like tuition cost (31.12%) and surveillance systems (31.02%) had moderate influence. Aspects such as institution type (public/private), curriculum, brand reputation, staff-child ratio, and care format were generally considered less important. Table 6 showed details. Table 6.

Among the 1,038 respondents who either had enrolled their children in childcare or planned to do so, 83.52% preferred that monthly childcare fees remain below CNY 3,000. The most acceptable fee range was CNY 1,001–2,000, favored by 40.94% of families (Here is Figure 1). A non-parametric rank-sum test revealed statistically significant differences in fee acceptance across regions (χ² = 13.570, P = 0.009). Among the five surveyed counties and districts of Huzhou, Changxing County showed the highest acceptance levels for childcare fees, while Nanxun District exhibited the lowest (Here is Table 7). Table 7. Acceptance of Childcare Fees by Region (Households with Childcare Experience or Intention to Enroll) Region ≤CNY 1,000 CNY 1,001–2,000 CNY 2,001–3,000 CNY 3,001–4,000 CNY 4,001–5,000 ≥CNY 5,001 Nanxun 23 57 16 8 8 5 Anji 31 94 62 11 5 6 Deqing 31 65 47 19 9 1 Wuxing 49 114 48 24 13 9 Changxing 37 95 98 40 8 5 Total 171 425 271 102 43 26 % 16.47 40.94 26.11 9.83 4.14 2.50 X 2 =13.570, P =0.009 3.6 Reasons for Not Enrolling Children in Childcare Institutions Additional barriers emerged among parents with no childcare experience and no intention to enroll their children. The top two reasons were: "the child is too young, with concerns about safety and health" (77.51%) and "0–3-year-old children need family companionship the most" (52.51%). Moreover, 30.45% of parents believed that 'childcare institutions are chaotic, with inadequate staffing and poor regulation. Other reasons included the belief that the family could adequately provide care and early education (22.77%), worries about caregivers’ qualifications (21.51%), lack of suitable nearby institutions (14.94%), high service fees (14.53%), and insufficient understanding of childcare services (10.75%). These results are detailed in Table 8. Table 8.

Discussion and Recommendations 4.1 Current Supply and Demand of Childcare Services in China This study, based on 1,754 valid questionnaires collected in Huzhou, provides a systematic analysis of the childcare enrollment status among families with children aged 0–3 in the Yangtze River Delta. The results indicate a childcare enrollment rate of 26.68% in this region, significantly higher than the national average of 7.86% reported by the National Health Commission in 2024. 14 This disparity reflects notable progress in policy implementation and service provision in the Yangtze River Delta, particularly in Huzhou. Since 2020, China has intensified its efforts in childcare policy and fiscal support. Approximately CNY 3.6 billion was allocated from the central budget over three years to develop 48 municipal-level comprehensive childcare service centers and to designate 33 pilot cities (districts) for infant and toddler care services, with Huzhou among them. 15-16 The higher-than-average childcare rate in Huzhou underscores its role as a demonstrative model. However, significant gaps remain compared with advanced international standards. According to OECD data (2023), the public childcare coverage rate for children aged 1–3 in Sweden and Denmark reached 64% and 68%, respectively, in 2021. 17 Moreover, 51.79% of families not currently using childcare services expressed a willingness to enroll under certain conditions, suggesting a considerable unmet potential demand. This indicates that despite continued investment in policies and funding, structural shortages in service supply persist, falling short of fully meeting families' increasing needs. 4.2 Factors Influencing Family Childcare Choices The study further reveals that maternal education and occupation significantly influence childcare decisions. Mothers with higher education levels were more likely to choose childcare services (OR=1.257), likely due to a better understanding of the importance of early childhood education. Similar patterns have been reported in Canada and the United States, where mothers with a bachelor’s degree or higher are 1.8 times more likely to use formal childcare services (OR=1.8, 95% CI: 1.2–2.7). 18-20 Additionally, families employed in government agencies or public institutions had higher enrollment rates than those with unstable employment, indicating that job stability and economic capacity are key drivers of childcare decisions. The number of children also significantly affected childcare behavior. Consistent with North American research 20 , families with two or more children relied more on grandparental care, being 1.8 times more likely to choose such arrangements than one-child families (OR = 1.783, 95% CI: 1.438–2.211). Financial pressure and resource allocation challenges make institutional childcare less feasible for larger families. In this study, families from regions other than Deqing County were more likely to use childcare services, particularly in Anji County, where the likelihood was nearly four times higher (OR = 3.915), potentially related to the county's higher birth rate compared to Deqing. 4.3 Parental Preferences Regarding Childcare Services Key factors influencing parents’ choice of childcare centers include environmental conditions, infrastructure, and staff qualifications, while curriculum design and institutional ownership were relatively less important. These findings align with Lay Ong Tan's perspective that parental concern about childcare quality primarily focuses on physical settings and caregiver professionalism. 21 In terms of service type, full-day care was the most preferred (89.60%), though there was also demand for part-day and temporary care. Similar preferences have been reported in families with flexible work schedules. 22 Regarding institutional nature, parents generally preferred public kindergartens with attached childcare classes or public childcare centers, reflecting a strong trust in public resources. This is consistent with findings from South Africa, where low-income families prioritized "free, high-quality care provided by the government" over community-based mutual care (OR=2.1, 95% CI: 1.3–3.4). Government-run institutions' perceived safety and systemic guarantees, such as routine health checks, were core drivers of parental trust. 23 4.4 Motivations and Facilitating Factors for Enrolling in Childcare The primary motivations for families choosing childcare services were "cultivating good habits" and "allowing children to have playmates," reflecting expectations beyond basic caregiving. These motivations suggest growing recognition of the role of childcare in social and behavioral development. China has recently promoted integrated service models such as "medical-care integration," "nursing-care coordination," and "holistic medical-educational-care systems." The "medical-care integration" model aims to build a childcare system that incorporates preventive and clinical health, individualized and community services, as well as traditional and modern medicine. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, these approaches aim to enhance the scientific and professional nature of childcare, moving away from traditional experience-based family care. In Western countries, a primary purpose of enrolling children in childcare is to foster overall development. 24 In contrast, in this study, reducing parenting burden was not a major consideration for Chinese parents. According to institutional leaders, this suggests a lack of awareness among both parents and service providers regarding the developmental benefits of high-quality early childcare. International evidence shows that such services promote cognitive, language, and socio-emotional skills, reduce behavioral problems, and foster prosocial behavior. 24 To raise childcare enrollment rates in China, institutions should emphasize developmental benefits, enhance outreach and parental communication, and leverage community and healthcare resources to build a supportive environment for parenting. 4.5 Barriers to Childcare Enrollment Safety concerns and limited awareness remain primary barriers. Nearly 80% of parents cited concerns about safety and health due to their child’s young age. This aligns with findings by Liu et al. 25 and Samuels et al. 26 National-level data on childcare-related injuries in China are lacking, but between 2010 and 2020, the mortality rate due to unintentional injuries among children under 5 fell to 178.8 per 100,000, though it remains a leading cause of death. 27 In contrast, systematic reviews in the U.S. show injury incidence rates in childcare institutions between 0.25 and 5.31 per 100,000 child-hours. 28 This highlights the need to improve China’s childcare infrastructure and management to build public confidence in safety. China’s childcare services are diverse, including home-based care points, community nurseries, affiliated classes in kindergartens, workplace childcare centers, and hospital-based facilities. However, the absence of unified service standards and evaluation systems results in inconsistent service quality and increased regulatory challenges. Some parents cited "institutional chaos, inadequate staff, and lack of supervision" as reasons for avoiding childcare, underscoring the need to strengthen standards and governmental oversight. The government identified the dual issues of "unaffordable" and "unavailable" childcare in its 2025 report. To address affordability, efforts have been made to include inclusive childcare services in basic public services and promote childcare vouchers in select regions. This study found that 44.38% of families preferred monthly fees between CNY 1,000–2,000, and 87.6% expected fees under CNY 3,000. Only 14.87% cited high fees as a barrier, suggesting that affordability might not be the primary constraint, particularly in Huzhou, one of China’s wealthier cities. Thus, cost may not be the bottleneck for development, although regional disparities should be considered. Regarding accessibility, 15.34% of families reported a lack of suitable nearby institutions, indicating ongoing issues with geographic and structural imbalances. The government should focus on optimizing childcare slot allocation by prioritizing densely populated areas and infants under one year of age to achieve better supply-demand alignment. Given the declining birth rate, some regions have adopted childcare slot counts as performance indicators. This study proposes that replacing "number of slots" with "enrollment rate" as a key indicator may better promote sustainable development. International practices offer useful lessons. Countries such as Finland and the Netherlands have legislated parental participation in childcare as a right or obligation, 29-30 while France and Germany use tax credits and subsidies to reduce family burdens. 31-32 These mechanisms have proven effective in improving childcare coverage. 5. Conclusion With shifting parenting philosophies and evolving family structures, the demand for childcare services for children aged 0–3 in China has become increasingly urgent. Using Huzhou in the Yangtze River Delta as a representative sample and analyzing 1,754 valid questionnaires, this study systematically explored current supply-demand dynamics, parental preferences, influencing factors, facilitating conditions, and barriers to childcare service utilization. Despite continued policy efforts, including model cities and diversified provider participation, challenges remain: limited resources, uneven service quality, weak regulatory frameworks, and variable public trust and affordability all constrain actual service utilization. Maternal education, occupational stability, and number of children were key determinants of childcare decisions, while parental preferences centered on institutional type, safety, environment, and staff qualifications. The findings suggest that parents increasingly value the developmental and social benefits of childcare services. Nevertheless, the issues of "unavailable" childcare remain critical. Improving geographic coverage, enhancing regulatory systems, and ensuring safety are essential for sustainable childcare development. Recommendations include: (1) improving top-level design and financial support by integrating inclusive childcare into basic public services and offering targeted subsidies; (2) optimizing slot allocation based on population density and age distribution; (3) developing unified standards and regulatory mechanisms; and (4) strengthening public awareness and empowering families through education and community support. In sum, China's childcare services are transitioning from initial exploration to high-quality supply. A coordinated approach involving systematic planning, diversified provision, institutional safeguards, and family-community collaboration is essential for establishing an equitable, accessible, high-quality, and sustainable childcare system to support holistic child development, ease parenting burdens, and promote long-term population sustainability. 6. Limitations This study has several limitations. First, the cross-sectional design precludes causal inferences regarding the relationship between maternal education and occupation, and childcare choices. Second, despite using a large sample from Huzhou, the exclusion of megacities like Shanghai may limit generalizability across the Yangtze River Delta. Third, self-reported data on parental preferences (e.g., "facility environment") could introduce recall bias and subjective interpretation. Fourth, unmeasured confounders such as detailed household income gradients and intergenerational caregiving traditions were not quantified. Future studies should incorporate longitudinal designs, multi-city sampling, and objective quality assessments of childcare facilities.

Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, China has witnessed a continued decline in fertility rates alongside accelerating population aging, raising widespread concerns about the sustainability of socioeconomic development\u0026sup1;. Similar to China, many high-income countries have experienced prolonged periods of low fertility. In response to labor force shrinkage and mounting social pressures, these countries have widely regarded the development of childcare service systems as a key strategy to increase fertility intentions. Through policy guidance and financial investment, they have gradually shifted the care of children aged 0\u0026ndash;3 from a private family responsibility to a component of public service systems.\u003csup\u003e\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/sup\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames J. Heckman, a Nobel laureate in economics, has demonstrated through long-term empirical research that high-quality early childhood interventions can yield annual social returns of up to 13%, spanning improved educational outcomes, employment, income, and health⁴. UNESCO also emphasized in its Global Education Monitoring Report that early childhood care is crucial not only for individual cognitive and socio-emotional development but also as a foundational investment in national human capital and economic productivity⁵. Hence, building a systemic, accessible, and equitable childcare service system is not only vital for reducing the parenting burden, promoting gender equality, and enhancing job stability, but also a key condition for improving overall fertility intentions and ensuring demographic sustainability.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, traditional family care norms in China assign primary caregiving responsibilities for young children to mothers or grandparents⁶. As of 2020, among rural \u0026ldquo;left-behind\u0026rdquo; children in China, 61% were cared for solely by grandparents, 21% by mothers alone, and only 5% jointly by both parents⁷. This imbalance often results in more intense work-family conflicts for mothers than fathers, contributing to declining fertility intentions among women. Surveys have shown that 61.7% of Chinese families cite \u0026ldquo;insufficient energy for parenting\u0026rdquo; as a primary reason for not having a second child⁸, and 62.3% of families who wish to have a second child but have not done so report concerns about the lack of childcare resources⁹. Among urban families, the demand satisfaction rate for childcare services for children under age 3 remains as low as 5.5%\u0026sup1;⁰, revealing a significant gap between supply and demand.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn response, the Chinese government has emphasized the need to build a fertility-friendly society and has identified the accessibility and quality of infant and toddler care services as critical policy priorities\u0026sup1;\u0026sup1;. Particularly for children aged 0\u0026ndash;3, the expansion of childcare services aims not only to ease the parenting burden but also to promote early childhood development and enhance female labor force participation and gender equality.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 2019, China has launched a series of childcare-related policies, making that year a landmark \u0026ldquo;policy starting point\u0026rdquo; for infant care services. Representative documents such as the Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Development of Care Services for Infants Under Three Years Old\u0026sup1;\u0026sup2; have established a developmental model of \u0026ldquo;government-led, family-centered, and socially participated\u0026rdquo; services, marking the official integration of childcare into China\u0026rsquo;s public service system.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, by 2024, a substantial portion of families continue to face significant parenting burdens. The dismantling of workplace welfare systems during China\u0026rsquo;s economic reforms shifted childcare responsibilities back to families, leaving infant and toddler care marginalized in policy for nearly three decades. Despite five years of policy interventions and market cultivation, the provision of care services still leans heavily on socialized, market-driven, and privately-operated models\u0026sup1;\u0026sup3;. We argue that childcare services, as the core component of the broader infant care system, are pivotal to addressing childcare challenges in China and are essential for any efforts to increase fertility rates.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo promote the high-quality development of childcare services, it is crucial to understand the actual demand under the current policy framework. Existing studies have mostly focused on supply-side reforms. In non-first-tier cities, systematic investigations into household-level demand, usage barriers, and service preferences remain scarce, limiting the precision and effectiveness of policy responses.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Understanding whether, when, and why parents are willing to use childcare services\u0026mdash;and the sociodemographic factors behind those decisions\u0026mdash;can help align resource allocation with actual needs and improve the targeting of interventions. To fill this research gap, the present study conducted a cross-sectional survey of mothers with children aged 0\u0026ndash;3 in Huzhou, a representative mid-sized city in eastern China. Huzhou was designated a national childcare model city in 2023 and reflects typical demographic and economic characteristics of third-tier cities. The findings offer data-driven insights and practical guidance for improving the childcare service system and provide a theoretical foundation for building a high-quality, affordable, and sustainable fertility support environment.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"2.

These data allowed for stratified analysis of childcare needs across different maternal profiles. The childcare demand module aimed to investigate respondents' specific needs and preferences, including past childcare service use, willingness to use such services, preferred starting age, type of institution, form of care, reasons for choosing/not choosing formal childcare, and key considerations in decision-making.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe questionnaire employed both single-choice and multiple-choice formats. Items regarding preferences were designed as unrestricted multiple-choice questions to capture nuanced perspectives. Items on reasons for and against childcare service use were limited to a maximum of three choices to ensure clarity and analytical feasibility. Respondents could choose up to five items for key factors influencing their childcare decisions.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe questionnaire was administered in simplified Chinese to ensure comprehension. Content validity was reviewed by three maternal and child health experts, and adjustments were made based on their feedback.

Experience\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamilies who reported no prior experience with childcare but expressed plans to enroll their child were categorized as having explicit demand. Among the 716 families without prior childcare experience and no current enrollment plan, 96 (13.41%) responded \u0026ldquo;yes\u0026rdquo; to the question \u0026ldquo;If a nearby childcare institution were available, would you consider enrolling your child?\u0026rdquo;\u0026mdash;indicating a form of latent demand for childcare services. This suggests that while many families are not currently utilizing childcare services, a subset would be open to enrollment if favorable conditions (e.g., accessibility) were met, highlighting untapped potential demand.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen combining both explicit and latent demand, 51.79% of the 1,286 families without prior enrollment exhibited a willingness to consider childcare services. Additionally, 24.63% responded that their decision \u0026ldquo;depends on the specific situation\u0026rdquo;\u0026mdash;indicating that factors such as cost, proximity, and perceived service quality could influence future enrollment decisions.

primary reason for enrolling children in childcare, as reported by families, was not due to necessity but rather to help cultivate good habits in children (78.32%). The next most common reason was to provide children with companions (66.38%). Fewer families reported motives such as reducing parenting stress (7.71%) or alleviating burdens on grandparents (19.85%).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of institutional selection, parents emphasized campus environment and hardware facilities (82.37%) and staff qualifications (77.36%) as the most critical factors. Distance from home (66.67%) and food quality (62.52%) were also important, while factors like tuition cost (31.12%) and surveillance systems (31.02%) had moderate influence. Aspects such as institution type (public/private), curriculum, brand reputation, staff-child ratio, and care format were generally considered less important.

Approximately CNY 3.6 billion was allocated from the central budget over three years to develop 48 municipal-level comprehensive childcare service centers and to designate 33 pilot cities (districts) for infant and toddler care services, with Huzhou among them.\u003csup\u003e15-16\u003c/sup\u003e The higher-than-average childcare rate in Huzhou underscores its role as a demonstrative model. However, significant gaps remain compared with advanced international standards. According to OECD data (2023), the public childcare coverage rate for children aged 1\u0026ndash;3 in Sweden and Denmark reached 64% and 68%, respectively, in 2021.\u003csup\u003e17\u003c/sup\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, 51.79% of families not currently using childcare services expressed a willingness to enroll under certain conditions, suggesting a considerable unmet potential demand. This indicates that despite continued investment in policies and funding, structural shortages in service supply persist, falling short of fully meeting families\u0026apos; increasing needs.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.2 Factors Influencing Family Childcare Choices\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe study further reveals that maternal education and occupation significantly influence childcare decisions. Mothers with higher education levels were more likely to choose childcare services (OR=1.257), likely due to a better understanding of the importance of early childhood education. Similar patterns have been reported in Canada and the United States, where mothers with a bachelor\u0026rsquo;s degree or higher are 1.8 times more likely to use formal childcare services (OR=1.8, 95% CI: 1.2\u0026ndash;2.7).\u003csup\u003e18-20\u003c/sup\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, families employed in government agencies or public institutions had higher enrollment rates than those with unstable employment, indicating that job stability and economic capacity are key drivers of childcare decisions. The number of children also significantly affected childcare behavior. Consistent with North American research\u003csup\u003e20\u003c/sup\u003e, families with two or more children relied more on grandparental care, being 1.8 times more likely to choose such arrangements than one-child families (OR = 1.783, 95% CI: 1.438\u0026ndash;2.211). Financial pressure and resource allocation challenges make institutional childcare less feasible for larger families. In this study, families from regions other than Deqing County were more likely to use childcare services, particularly in Anji County, where the likelihood was nearly four times higher (OR = 3.915), potentially related to the county\u0026apos;s higher birth rate compared to Deqing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.3 Parental Preferences Regarding Childcare Services\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey factors influencing parents\u0026rsquo; choice of childcare centers include environmental conditions, infrastructure, and staff qualifications, while curriculum design and institutional ownership were relatively less important. These findings align with Lay Ong Tan\u0026apos;s perspective that parental concern about childcare quality primarily focuses on physical settings and caregiver professionalism.\u003csup\u003e21\u003c/sup\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of service type, full-day care was the most preferred (89.60%), though there was also demand for part-day and temporary care. Similar preferences have been reported in families with flexible work schedules.\u003csup\u003e22\u003c/sup\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding institutional nature, parents generally preferred public kindergartens with attached childcare classes or public childcare centers, reflecting a strong trust in public resources. This is consistent with findings from South Africa, where low-income families prioritized \u0026quot;free, high-quality care provided by the government\u0026quot; over community-based mutual care (OR=2.1, 95% CI: 1.3\u0026ndash;3.4). Government-run institutions\u0026apos; perceived safety and systemic guarantees, such as routine health checks, were core drivers of parental trust.\u003csup\u003e23\u003c/sup\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.4 Motivations and Facilitating Factors for Enrolling in Childcare\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary motivations for families choosing childcare services were \u0026quot;cultivating good habits\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;allowing children to have playmates,\u0026quot; reflecting expectations beyond basic caregiving. These motivations suggest growing recognition of the role of childcare in social and behavioral development.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChina has recently promoted integrated service models such as \u0026quot;medical-care integration,\u0026quot; \u0026quot;nursing-care coordination,\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;holistic medical-educational-care systems.\u0026quot; The \u0026quot;medical-care integration\u0026quot; model aims to build a childcare system that incorporates preventive and clinical health, individualized and community services, as well as traditional and modern medicine. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, these approaches aim to enhance the scientific and professional nature of childcare, moving away from traditional experience-based family care.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Western countries, a primary purpose of enrolling children in childcare is to foster overall development.\u003csup\u003e24\u003c/sup\u003e In contrast, in this study, reducing parenting burden was not a major consideration for Chinese parents. According to institutional leaders, this suggests a lack of awareness among both parents and service providers regarding the developmental benefits of high-quality early childcare. International evidence shows that such services promote cognitive, language, and socio-emotional skills, reduce behavioral problems, and foster prosocial behavior.\u003csup\u003e24\u003c/sup\u003e To raise childcare enrollment rates in China, institutions should emphasize developmental benefits, enhance outreach and parental communication, and leverage community and healthcare resources to build a supportive environment for parenting.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.5 Barriers to Childcare Enrollment\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety concerns and limited awareness remain primary barriers. Nearly 80% of parents cited concerns about safety and health due to their child\u0026rsquo;s young age. This aligns with findings by Liu et al.\u003csup\u003e25\u003c/sup\u003e and Samuels et al.\u0026nbsp;\u003csup\u003e26\u003c/sup\u003eNational-level data on childcare-related injuries in China are lacking, but between 2010 and 2020, the mortality rate due to unintentional injuries among children under 5 fell to 178.8 per 100,000, though it remains a leading cause of death.\u003csup\u003e27\u003c/sup\u003e In contrast, systematic reviews in the U.S. show injury incidence rates in childcare institutions between 0.25 and 5.31 per 100,000 child-hours.\u003csup\u003e28\u0026nbsp;\u003c/sup\u003eThis highlights the need to improve China\u0026rsquo;s childcare infrastructure and management to build public confidence in safety.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChina\u0026rsquo;s childcare services are diverse, including home-based care points, community nurseries, affiliated classes in kindergartens, workplace childcare centers, and hospital-based facilities. However, the absence of unified service standards and evaluation systems results in inconsistent service quality and increased regulatory challenges. Some parents cited \u0026quot;institutional chaos, inadequate staff, and lack of supervision\u0026quot; as reasons for avoiding childcare, underscoring the need to strengthen standards and governmental oversight.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe government identified the dual issues of \u0026quot;unaffordable\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;unavailable\u0026quot; childcare in its 2025 report. To address affordability, efforts have been made to include inclusive childcare services in basic public services and promote childcare vouchers in select regions. This study found that 44.38% of families preferred monthly fees between CNY 1,000\u0026ndash;2,000, and 87.6% expected fees under CNY 3,000. Only 14.87% cited high fees as a barrier, suggesting that affordability might not be the primary constraint, particularly in Huzhou, one of China\u0026rsquo;s wealthier cities. Thus, cost may not be the bottleneck for development, although regional disparities should be considered.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding accessibility, 15.34% of families reported a lack of suitable nearby institutions, indicating ongoing issues with geographic and structural imbalances. The government should focus on optimizing childcare slot allocation by prioritizing densely populated areas and infants under one year of age to achieve better supply-demand alignment. Given the declining birth rate, some regions have adopted childcare slot counts as performance indicators. This study proposes that replacing \u0026quot;number of slots\u0026quot; with \u0026quot;enrollment rate\u0026quot; as a key indicator may better promote sustainable development.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational practices offer useful lessons. Countries such as Finland and the Netherlands have legislated parental participation in childcare as a right or obligation,\u003csup\u003e29-30\u003c/sup\u003e while France and Germany use tax credits and subsidies to reduce family burdens.\u003csup\u003e31-32\u0026nbsp;\u003c/sup\u003eThese mechanisms have proven effective in improving childcare coverage.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"5. Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eWith shifting parenting philosophies and evolving family structures, the demand for childcare services for children aged 0\u0026ndash;3 in China has become increasingly urgent. Using Huzhou in the Yangtze River Delta as a representative sample and analyzing 1,754 valid questionnaires, this study systematically explored current supply-demand dynamics, parental preferences, influencing factors, facilitating conditions, and barriers to childcare service utilization.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite continued policy efforts, including model cities and diversified provider participation, challenges remain: limited resources, uneven service quality, weak regulatory frameworks, and variable public trust and affordability all constrain actual service utilization. Maternal education, occupational stability, and number of children were key determinants of childcare decisions, while parental preferences centered on institutional type, safety, environment, and staff qualifications. The findings suggest that parents increasingly value the developmental and social benefits of childcare services.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, the issues of \u0026quot;unavailable\u0026quot; childcare remain critical. Improving geographic coverage, enhancing regulatory systems, and ensuring safety are essential for sustainable childcare development. Recommendations include: (1) improving top-level design and financial support by integrating inclusive childcare into basic public services and offering targeted subsidies; (2) optimizing slot allocation based on population density and age distribution; (3) developing unified standards and regulatory mechanisms; and (4) strengthening public awareness and empowering families through education and community support.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn sum, China\u0026apos;s childcare services are transitioning from initial exploration to high-quality supply. A coordinated approach involving systematic planning, diversified provision, institutional safeguards, and family-community collaboration is essential for establishing an equitable, accessible, high-quality, and sustainable childcare system to support holistic child development, ease parenting burdens, and promote long-term population sustainability.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"6. Limitations","content":"\u003cp\u003eThis study has several limitations. First, the cross-sectional design precludes causal inferences regarding the relationship between maternal education and occupation, and childcare choices. Second, despite using a large sample from Huzhou, the exclusion of megacities like Shanghai may limit generalizability across the Yangtze River Delta. Third, self-reported data on parental preferences (e.g., \u0026quot;facility environment\u0026quot;) could introduce recall bias and subjective interpretation. Fourth, unmeasured confounders such as detailed household income gradients and intergenerational caregiving traditions were not quantified. Future studies should incorporate longitudinal designs, multi-city sampling, and objective quality assessments of childcare facilities.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor Contributions\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJun Wang, Hui Huang, Yihan Ma, and Yan Chen contribute equally to the article; they are co-first authors. \u0026nbsp;They contributed to the conception, design, data analysis, and drafting of the manuscript.

The childcare enrollment rate reached 26.68%, notably higher than the national average of 7.86%. Among non-users, 51.79% reported potential demand. Key determinants of enrollment included maternal education, employment stability, and number of children. Parents prioritized institutional environment (82.37%), teacher qualifications (77.36%), and favored public centers (75.86%) over private and home-based options. Safety and supervision concerns were the main barriers, with 77.51% citing health risks. Cost was less limiting, as 83.52% accepted fees\u0026thinsp;\u0026le;\u0026thinsp;3000 CNY/month. The findings highlight early gains from national childcare policies but also reveal critical gaps in safety regulation and public trust. Policy recommendations include expanding inclusive services, improving regulatory frameworks, and aligning service provision with family needs. This study provides timely evidence to guide high-quality, equitable childcare development in low-fertility settings.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Understanding parental demand for early childcare in low-fertility China: A cross-sectional study of children aged 0–3 years in Huzhou","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-08-05 12:22:21","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7003331/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
