Child Care in State Economies (2024) is a three-part report series examining the current status of the paid child care industry in the U.S. The series provides an update to CED's signature 2019 and 2015 report editions to reflect the most currently available data. The three reports provide a detailed analysis on the paid child care industry following unprecedented disruption during the recent COVID-19 public health pandemic.
This report series was commissioned by Committee for Economic Development, the public policy center of The Conference Board and produced by RegionTrack, Inc., an economic research firm, with generous support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
