Wade, Policy, Legislation, Investment, Research, Woman, Pharmaceutical industry, Birth control

IWPR applauds several provisions in the bill, including the historic investment in child care for low-income families, with $8 billion for the Child Care and Development Block Grant. This increased funding – 30 percent over current levels -- is critical as evidence shows that federal spending on child care subsidies have not kept pace with actual child care costs, leaving parents without access to child care. For many women, access to child care can mean the difference between returning to work or not.
