Final Child Care Needs Assessment – 2015 and 2025 <br /> City of Redwood City <br />October 19, 2016 <br />Page 15 of 15 <br />Prepared by Brion Economics, Inc. Final Report <br />Table 7 <br />Endnotes for Tables <br />Redwood City Child Care Study - 2016 <br />(1)Population by age is based on the percentage breakdown from the 2010 U.S. Census and applied <br />to population estimates for 2015 and 2025 from the Redwood City Community Development Department. <br />(2)Labor force participation rates are from the 5-Year American Community Survey 2014 and include <br />children under six years old with two working parents or a single working parent. For the 2- to 4-year <br />olds, the labor force participation rate is applied to 2 year olds; for 3- and 4-year olds, it is assumed <br />that 80% need licensed care, so the number of 3- and 4-year olds is not discounted by labor force <br />participation rates. Non-working parents also enroll children in preschool for school readiness. <br />(3)Not all children with working parents are assumed to need licensed care: percentage assumptions are <br />used to calculate the number of children requiring licensed care under each age category. The <br />remaining children are assumed to be cared for in alternate arrangements, such as by family members, <br />nannies, friends, and other unlicensed care. For children ages 3- and 4-years old, it is assumed that <br />80% need care in the form of preschool since many are enrolled for school readiness reasons, and <br />not because the parents require care due to work. <br />(4)Data on child care supply provided by the Child Care Partnership Council of San Mateo County <br />and Community Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services (CCLD). Data is <br />for June 2015. <br />(5)Demand that calculates as less than 100% means that there is greater demand than supply; percent of <br />demand that is over 100% means supply exceeds demand. <br />Source: Brion Economics, Inc. <br />8.C. - Page 19
