Who turns a family-friendly promise into a funded and usable service?
Compares child-friendly aspirations with actual breastfeeding and childcare policies, making institutional coordination and funding visible.
Study context
36 employees and student mothers at three public universities in Ghana, with interviews and document review.
Age / stage: Adult employees and student mothers with infants.
Read with three questions
- What formal policies or campus facilities were actually available?
- How did employees and student mothers describe personal workarounds?
- Which financial and governance barriers prevented an institutional response?
Keep the limits in view
Three purposively sampled campus cases do not establish national prevalence or policy effects; student and employee needs differ and should not be conflated.
