The economic consequences of insufficient child care on working families across Tennessee

Description:
We calculate the economy-wide impacts of inadequate child care for the three main groups affected-workers, businesses, and taxpayers (Workman and Jessen-Howard, 2018). These calculations combine evidence from the survey on the extent of disruptions with economic data on earnings, business activity, and tax rates in Tennessee. We report amounts per working parent both as annual amounts and over the long-term. Also, we report aggregate amounts for Tennessee: each year there are 181,440 working parents of children under age 5 whose labor market contributions are constrained. (author abstract)
