Parental childcare time, as one of the channels that transfer the positive effects of parental education to children, is important for the development and formation of human capital of children. It is studied in many countries using time use data; however, the effects of parental educational level on their childcare time in Turkey have not been studied yet. Time-diary data from the 2006 Turkish Time Use Survey of TurkStat is used to investigate the factors affecting parents’ time investments in childcare in Turkey. However, the primary interest of the study is the effect of parental education level on childcare time. In order to investigate the determinants of parental childcare time, a double hurdle model is used in order to handle huge number of zeros of childcare time. Results show that being graduate from the university or having a higher degree is significant for parents’ childcare time allocation decision. University graduate parents are more likely devote time to their children. Moreover, any educational level is found to have a positive impact on the amount of childcare time of them. Compared to uneducated parents, educated parents certainly spend more time with children at home. Another important factor affecting parents’ childcare time is educational level of spouses. While men who have university graduate spouses are more likely to devote time to their children, women who have university graduate spouses are less likely to devote time to their children. Additionally, fathers having an educated spouse spend more time with their children.
