On the basis of a local household survey, this paper examines the economic and social conditions of families with children under fifteen. The analysis refers to a particular area, the province of Modena, one of the richest in Italy, with high female occupation rates and a good deal of public child care services. We study child care services available outside the family and the costs afforded by parents. We also analyze some critical areas in childcare and discuss their links with the economic conditions of the families.
