Op 21 april van 12.00 tot 13.00 uur zal dr. Verena Seibel (Universiteit Utrecht) een lunchlezing geven over kennisbarrières en het gebruik van kinderopvang bij Nederlandse ouders. Dit onderzoek is gebaseerd op een onderzoek dat is uitgevoerd met een ODISSEI LISS-subsidie die Seibel en dr. Mara Yerkes hebben in 2020 ontvangen voor hun project ‘From perceptions to behaviour? Examining knowledge barriers to formal childcare usage among Dutch parents’.
We nodigen je van harte uit om deze online lezing bij te wonen en meer te weten te komen over het gebruik van kinderopvang bij Nederlandse ouders. Na de lezing is er ruimte voor vragen en discussie. Meer informatie over de lezing hieronder (Engels).
Online registratie is gesloten, maar het is nog mogelijk deze lezing bij te wonen door de link aan te vragen via communications@odissei-data.nl.
About the Lunch Lecture
With her colleague Mara Yerkes (Utrecht University), Verena Seibel has collected data within the LISS panel on Dutch parents’ perceptions and knowledge of formal childcare, supported by the ODISSEI LISS panel grant for data collection. Research acknowledges that parents’ lack of ‘system knowledge’ is a crucial barrier for accessing formal childcare and can influence their perceptions of childcare accessibility. However, a concrete measurement of system knowledge is missing so far. Seibel and Yerkes therefore contribute to the field by developing new questions and collecting data on parents’ system knowledge, linking them to parents’ childcare perceptions.
In this talk, Seibel will discuss the motivation of this data collection and the process of the questionnaire development. Seibel will then present first results and discuss the methodological challenges they encountered such as how to measure knowledge. Last, but not least, Seibel will discuss how these measurements can be linked to other welfare domains such as healthcare.
