Article Abstract:

Both micro data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and Vital Statistics mortality records have been used to examine the effects of child care regulation on rates of accidental injury. It was found that some children benefit from safer environments, while those who are squeezed out of the regulated sector are placed at higher risk of injury.
