摘要 | This brief was corrected July 1, 2019. On page 7, the number of states that would see monthly caseload increases between 100 and 150 percent is 14, not 13 as originally published. On page 14, table 4 has been replaced to correct errors in the “Percent change” column for Missouri through Wyoming.
Child care subsidies can help low-income parents ensure the healthy development of their children while working to support their families. Yet the Child Care and Development Fund—the primary federal program supporting access to affordable child care—only has enough funding to serve a fraction of eligible families. This brief examines what would happen if child care subsidies were funded so every family with income below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines that is eligible under their state’s other rules could get a subsidy if they wanted one. Using the Urban Institute’s Analysis of Transfers, Taxes, and Income Security (ATTIS) microsimulation model, we find that guaranteeing child care subsidies for eligible families at the proposed income level—currently $31,995 a year for a family of three—would allow more families and children to be served by subsidies, let more parents work, raise incomes, and reduce poverty:
Research suggests that increased access to subsidies could result in a range of longer-term benefits for children and their families. With a subsidy, families could choose higher-quality child care, which can benefit their children’s development. Increased family income and reduced poverty can have short- and long-term benefits for children’s achievement and success. More stable child care can help families take less time out of the labor force and support their longer-term financial well-being and earnings trajectory. Learn more through our state fact sheets to see how expanding child care subsidies would play out in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Read the technical appendix here. |
