☆ Many single parents who drive for apps like Uber and Lyft say it's their best option — but they still can't pay their bills

AdvertisementFlexibility can be an illusionMost single parents with whom BI spoke said they valued the flexibility gig work gives them. Some single parents with disabilities said being able to take days off has helped them stay healthier and avoid burnout. This means that a higher percentage of single parents' earnings goes toward childcare costs, pushing some away from using childcare entirely. "These fluctuations and discrepancies can be devastating to individuals who don't have other mechanisms to make money, including single parents who are often operating on a single income," Greening said.

☆ Only one developed country has a more expensive childcare system than the US
  + stars: | 2024-02-27 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The United States has one of the most expensive childcare systems in the world. The average childcare cost among all 30 countries was less than 15% of a couple's wages. The US spends roughly 0.4% of its GDP on early education and childcare, compared to 0.8% for the average OECD country. In addition to boosting the number of working women, reducing childcare costs could motivate some US couples to have children. A recent study from the Beijing-based Yuwa Population Research found that high childcare costs were among the main reasons for China's low birth rate.

☆ The typical NYC family is spending more than 25% of its income on childcare — triple what's deemed affordable

New York City families are spending over a quarter of their income on childcare. The typical New York City family is spending over 25% of its income to pay for the childcare of just one kid, according to data from the Department of Labor . For its New York City childcare expenses to meet the federal standard for affordability, a family would need to earn roughly $300,000 per year.

Are you struggling to afford childcare or finding creative solutions?

☆ Childcare is about to get even more expensive at the end of September unless Congress acts
  + stars: | 2023-06-03 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Federal funding helped keep more than 200,000 childcare providers afloat in recent years. Unless Congress acts, many parents could face even higher childcare costs. During the pandemic, Congress provided over $52 billion to states to support the childcare system, which helped 220,000 childcare providers stay afloat, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. "The American Rescue Plan provided critical funding that made child care available to millions of children and allowed child care programs throughout our country to stay open. Providing states additional childcare funding could be an uphill battle.

☆ The rest of the US can learn a lot from how New Mexico is tackling the childcare crisis
  + stars: | 2023-01-27 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
New Mexico is the first state to dedicate permanent funding for childcare. The amendment, which was the result of nearly a year of campaigning by thousands of childcare workers across the state, made New Mexico the first in the nation to allocate permanent funding to childcare. "New Mexico is a leader right now," Cindy Lehnhoff, Director of the National Child Care Association, told Insider. "Economies of scale do not apply to child care in the same way as with other economic sectors," Taryn Morrissey, an associate professor of public policy at American University, told Insider. The experts agree the best solution ties back to what New Mexico is doing right now: expanding government childcare funding.
☆ It's about to get even harder to find affordable childcare
  + stars: | 2022-12-30 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Childcare providers may be forced to raise prices even higher to stay afloat. Childcare is going to "become even more unaffordable for the middle class families"For parents who manage to find childcare, it's likely to cost them heavily. "Now that childcare funds are going to start fading away, the cost of childcare is going to go up again and become even more unaffordable for the middle class families," she said. Declining enrollment numbers would then create yet another obstacle for childcare providers — thousands of which have already closed over the last few years. And it's not just childcare providers that would feel the pain.
