Webinar: Sustaining Early Care: State Lessons on Capacity Limits, Maternal Trade-Offs, and the Impact of Child Care Closures – Aug 26
Posted by Institute for Research on Poverty on August 18, 2026
Child care in the U.S. faces critical access and affordability challenges for families, defined by a 28.2% national supply gap and an average annual cost of about $28,000 for two children. However, the financial burden is heaviest for lower-income households and families of color, where rising costs outpace income growth at a far steeper rate. This Institute for Research on Poverty webinar will feature research across three state-specific studies, examining child care capacity measurement in Virginia, compromises in child care by mothers in Massachusetts, and the impact of child care closures in Wisconsin.
Date and Time: Wednesday, August 26, 2026, 2:00–3:00 PM
