Abstract: This paper studies the changing aspects of family-based care and institutional care services for children, highlighting the importance of the family environment while recognizing the necessity of formal childcare services in Delhi among single parents. Underlined by the studies of Elder (1998) and Sadownik and Brofenbrenner (2023), the study emphasizes the need of a secure and stable environment for the holistic development of the children, highlighting on human development that is relational and contextual, with an importance on children’s growth within the framework of their peer groups. However, the challenges attached to it within the family are also not ignored.
