Abstract

Other industrialized countries have adopted policies that simultaneously promote early child care and gender equality. In both, the United States lags significantly. Many economists claim that the lack of such policies will reduce the nation's productivity. The authors analyze the policies of other nations and present a bold set of policies for the country that support families without sacrificing favorable economic outcomes.
