Abstract

Following a federal transfer of $45 million this summer, the Alberta government increased the amount of its Child Care Subsidy for the first time since 2008. As a result, most qualifying families will now receive a larger subsidy. However, closer analysis indicates that there are still changes that could be made to provide a better, more equitable system.
