This article uses qualitative and quantitative evidence to examine child care decision making in Bangkok, Thailand. The preference model developed from qualitative data predicts a strong preference for care by a relative, even if the child has to live separately from his / her mother, and distrust of non relative and formal care. Overall about three quarters of children in the sample were cared for by their mother (some of whom were combining work with child care) or another relative when they were age 2. Although the degree to which mothers were working in a formal setting was the strongest predictor of being in non maternal care, children of higher socioeconomic status were also found more likely to be in non maternal care and less likely to be in a relative's care. The results are discussed in light of changing roles for women in a society undergoing rapid socio economic change.
