Childcare: The Workforce Behind Our Workforce
Never has it been clearer: Without strong and stable childcare options for parents, we cannot maintain a strong and stable workforce. In eroding our nation’s childcare system, the COVID-19 pandemic has laser-focused our attention on its economic value to our workforce in general, and working women in particular — a value we have largely taken for granted, for decades. Yet few of the problems plaguing childcare and early education are brand-new; they’ve simply been exacerbated, to a perilous degree.
In this webinar, you’ll learn about:
• The research and experience demonstrating how early care and education not only support today’s workforce, they help develop tomorrow’s.
• The childcare challenges that add-up for families and employers, typically costing them billions of dollars annually in lost earnings and diminished productivity.
• The significant role the business community can play in helping to curb these problems, speaking-up for solutions that benefit kids, parents, our workforce and economy.
