This issue brief argues for a more precise analysis of the data with a careful look at supply, cost and revenue by age of child.

In short, the United States has made noteworthy strides in improving the affordability, quality and supply of care for children over the age of three. Our challenge is caring for infants and toddlers. (author abstract)
