The Real Reason Childcare Doesn’t Work? It Isn’t What You Think.

The Real Reason Childcare Doesn’t Work? It Isn’t What You Think.

Erica Phillips

Women have disproportionately left the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic, due in part to a lack of child care. However, the U.S. childcare system was broken well before the pandemic. Racist and sexist beliefs have allowed this market to fail and ensured we never had a system designed to work for all families, childcare providers or children.
