Non-institutional Social Services (864), Private Households (974) and Other Personal and
Household Services (979): Figures for these three industries are affected by changes in the
instructions given to coders for the coding of "babysitters".
In 1986 and 1991, the instructions read:
- Babysitters who perform this task in their own home are coded to 979 - Other Personal and
Household Services.
- Babysitters who perform childcare in another person's home (including live-in babysitters)
are coded to 974 - Private Households.
- Babysitters who are employed by an agency are coded to 864 - Non-institutional Social Services.
In 1996, the instructions read:
- Babysitters who babysit in another person's home are coded to 979 - Other Personal and Household
Services (e.g. this code would include teenagers doing babysitting for neighbours).
- Babysitters who take children into their own home are coded to 864 - Non-institutional
Social Services.
Exceptions:
- Live-in babysitters/nannies who perform childcare in another person's home are coded to 974 -
Private Households.
- Babysitters who are employed by an agency (whether or not they work in their own home)
are coded to 979 - Other Personal and Household Services.
These instructions differ significantly. Only the live-in babysitters/nannies would receive
the same code in 1991 and 1996.
Not surprisingly, the Census estimates in 1996 show an enormous increase in Group 979 -
Other Personal and Household Services, n.e.c. (which now includes teenage babysitters).
In addition, there is a decline in Group 974 - Private Households (where these respondents
would have been coded previously). The increase in Group 864 - Non-institutional Social Services
is, in part, due to these revised instructions.
