Driving Growth: The Economic Value of Child Care in Cleveland & Cuyahoga County
Released in the summer of 2024, Driving Growth presents the results of a large survey of local families with children under the age of five and calculates the economic impact of inaccessible child care options in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. The report found that a staggering 78% of parents identified child care accessibility as a barrier to work, with a significant portion either unemployed or not participating in the labor force due to child care constraints. This issue isn't confined to low-income families; middle-income families and mid/senior-level talent are also struggling to find affordable care. These sweeping challenges cost businesses in Cuyahoga County more than $120 million every year due to lost productivity and turnover.
