This report (8 pages, in French) focuses on French families who have children aged 6 and under with disabilities, exploring caregiving arrangements within the family structure. Topics covered include the distribution of care (e.g., school, specialized structures, extended family) and the impact of balancing employment, family and caregiving responsibilities on parents.

The study draws on data from the fourth edition of the Modes de garde et d’accueil des jeunes enfants (MDG) survey, conducted in late 2021 by France’s Directorate of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics (DREES) among families with at least one child under the age of 6. The subsample for this analysis consisted of families receiving the education allowance for disabled children (AEEH).
