title: [Current day-care structures for young children. Social and economic aspect based on the situation in the Rhône district].
abstract: The French public day-care system is intended for children under the age of 3. All structures are under the supervision of the "protection maternelle et infantile" (mother and child health service) and, before opening, must have the agreement of the Conseil général (department council). In the Rhône department (main town: Lyon) in 1990, 5020 children under the age of 3, from a total of 67,500, were in public daycare. The public daycare system complies with about 21% of all requests for child care. Recently, family day nurseries have developed more rapidly than collective daycare, being more flexible and less expensive. The costs for running a day nursery are shared between parents (28%), municipality (50%), national social support (20%) and other fundings (2%).
