Hi there,
I covered something similar for my Foundation Degree. This edited book had a chapter that was really useful and i'm sure if you can access it, it will help:
Gupta PD (1995) Growing Up in Families. In Barnes,P (eds)Personal, Social and Emotional Development of Children. (Oxford: Blackwell Publishers LTD)
Regarding families, ECEC and economics The OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)website may be useful.
Hope this helps,
allie :)
