Ing to the Human Development Index (HDI) and its three constituent indices (life expectancy, education, gross domestic product). The United Nations adopted the HDI as a way of representing the general standard of living present in a country. Most composite indices reflect a country’s level of wealth rather than convey an array of conditions available to support health and adaptive functioning in the population. Although the HDI has shortcomings (Bornstein et al., 2012), it stands as a reasonable proxy for levels of support generally available for promoting human development. As such, it pertains in meaningful ways to caregiving.NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptChild Dev.

This work was guided by two questions. First, what is the CPI-455MedChemExpress CPI-455 prevalence of each domain of caregiving in each country, and how do countries compare with respect to the prevalence of each domain? Second, how is each caregiving domain related to country-level indicators of the nations’ life expectancy, educational achievement, and economic well-being?NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptMethodParticipants We used data from the MICS3, which was conducted in 2005?007, to evaluate cognitive and socioemotional caregiving in 127,347 families in 28 countries (Table 1). All but 1 (the Ukraine) included questions about caregiving activities in their MICS3, and all but 5 (Bangladesh, Belarus, Guinea Bissau, Iraq, and Somalia) included optional questions about leaving the child alone or in the care of another under-10 child. In Tables and Figures, countries are ordered by their HDI score unless otherwise noted. Across countries, the average number of children under 5 in the family was 1.30 (SD = .53; range = 1?); for this study, we randomly selected a target child under 5 from families with more than one child under 5. The randomly selected child under 5 averaged 29.10 months of age (SD = 16.83; range = 0?9), and 48.5 were female. Mothers averaged 29.37 years (SD = 8.13, range = 15?5), and the highest level of education mothers had completed was none or preschool for 29.5 , primary school for 27.5 , secondary school for 36.0 , and higher for 6.9 . Procedures MICS3–The MICS3 has three questionnaires: a Household Questionnaire, a Questionnaire for Individual Women (15 to 49 years old), and a Questionnaire for Children Under Five (available at http://www.childinfo.org/mics3_questionnaire.html). Each questionnaire is composed of core, additional, and optional modules, which are sets of standardized questions grouped by topics. Each country was responsible for designing and selecting a sample, usually a probability sample in all stages of selection, national in coverage, and designed so that its field implementation could be easily and faithfully carried out with minimum opportunity for deviation from a standard design. Multiple steps were taken to ensure data reliability. MICS3 respondents were normally the mother or primary caregiver of the child. This study included only the responses about what mothers did with their children in past 3 days. Six items were each coded as 0 = mother did not read books/tell stores/name,count,draw/p.Ing to the Human Development Index (HDI) and its three constituent indices (life expectancy, education, gross domestic product).
