Caregiving Across Cultures
Captions available
The idea
Cultures arrange early care differently: cribs are common in Canada and co-sleeping in South Africa, and many Namibian infants live in fosterage.
In practice
More than thirteen percent of Namibian infants and toddlers living with grandmothers, fathers' other wives or unrelated families.
Where people slip
Infants with more caregivers tend to have larger vocabularies, one benefit of shared care.
