The Conundrum Of Child Care Economics
When it comes to the economics of child care, both sides are hurting. For parents, the cost of child care is a huge financial burden. For child care providers, the financial compensation is grossly inadequate. Maryland Family Network collects and analyses extensive data about the demand, supply, and cost of child care in Maryland. Child Care Demographics 2013 includes data on population, income, workforce participation, and child care in Maryland.
