Description:
To inform policy discussions about the implementation of work requirements, we have compiled research insights about meeting the child care needs of low-income parents seeking education and job training. This brief pulls from the 12 studies produced under Urban Institute's Bridging the Gap: Exploring the Intersection between Child Care and Workforce Development for Low-Income Parents project (box 2), to ensure that the realities facing parents needing education and training are part of this important policy discussion. To frame the issues specific to the population of parents that may be subject to new work requirements, we also analyzed data from the first wave of the 2014 Survey of Income and Program Participation. Policymakers may want to consider the following insights as they consider the design and implementation of work requirements. (author abstract)
