Child Care Crisis in Healthcare

Nationally, 82% of parents struggle to find Child Care. The impacts are particularly far reaching in the healthcare industry which faces unprecedented challenges in recruiting and retaining top talent. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up 77.6% of the health care industry. Of those whom are mothers, nearly half cite caregiving responsibilities as a barrier to career advancement. This Child Care crisis has severe consequences, including:

1. Recruitment Woes: With insufficient talent to meet the demand for skilled healthcare workers, healthcare is facing extreme labor shortages. The most significant shortage is among nurses — the industry is 1 million nursesshort of demand.
2. Burnout and Turnover:Healthcare providers experience higher rates of burnout and turnover due to the added stress of balancing work and childcare responsibilities.
