Working parents, specifically working moms, are leaving their jobs at an astounding rate to take care of their families. And while the United States faces a 33-year low in female workforce participation today, this is not just a women’s issue; it’s an economic issue impacting every sector and industry. Businesses are losing $13 billion a year in productivity costs due to childcare challenges faced by their workforce. Finding a sustainable solution to helping working parents return and stay in the workforce perhaps never has had higher stakes, as its far-reaching impact extends beyond just the health of our families and children to the future of businesses’ success and our nation’s economy as a whole.
