The First 5 Association of California has released new research highlighting findings from Stanford, UC Irvine, and UC Berkeley that show investing in universal child care could add $23 billion to California’s economy and enable more than 100,000 mothers to enter the workforce. The research reinforces the urgent need for greater public investment in child care and early learning.
As Avo Makdessian, Executive Director of the First 5 Association of California, shared, “California’s child care crisis is choking off opportunities for families and undermining our economic potential. This new research confirms that investing in child care delivers significant gains for both California families and our economy, and that bold action from state and local leaders is urgently needed.”
