Economics of Child Care and Early Learning Investments

This webcast will discuss high-level findings of CED's new three-part report series which examines the current state of the paid child care industry in the US. The series is an update to CED's signature 2019 and 2015 report editions to reflect the most currently available data. The three reports provide a detailed analysis on the paid child care industry following unprecedented disruption during the COVID-19 public health pandemic.

The discussion will address the supply and demand of the paid child care market as well as its connection to regional economic growth and associated changes in labor force participation, income, and poverty. Additionally, the webcast will review the long-term benefits of child care and quality early learning opportunities for children.

By attending this webcast, you will learn:

  • How to understand the implications for labor force participation based on findings from CED’s signature Child Care in State Economies 2024 report series.

  • How to recognize the importance of the ‘public good’ role that the provision of child care plays for working families and the economy.

  • How employers can diversify their workforce by promoting child care supports to meet employee needs.
