Mapping the gap: Exploring child care supply & demand in Massachusetts

Description:

In Massachusetts, we examined three key issues around child care supply and demand: overall supply of child care slots compared to the number of working parents across the state; whether Child Care Development Fund subsidies mirror the demand for those subsidies; and the availability of licensed care for parents working nontraditional hours, or shift work, in Massachusetts.
