Bay Area business and political leaders neglect a key element of economic success.
As the Bay Area struggles to get workers back to the office, too many business and political leaders continue to neglect a key piece of the puzzle – child care.
The lack of quality child care creates economic problems on multiple levels. In the short term, disruptions for working parents and employers are obvious – some parents can’t return to the office. Other parents can’t work at all. Even when funding is approved, millions of dollars in stipends and grants are delayed for months and longer. For small businesses, like family child cares on tight budgets, delayed payments can be a death sentence. As more child care providers shut down, wait lists grow longer for families. When they can’t find or afford child care, parents end up quitting or cutting back hours to care for their children – causing more disruption for employers, and limiting their own economic prospects.
