Prioritize affordable childcare to boost Ohio's economy

To: Gov. DeWine, Rep. Claggett, Sen. Schaffer

From: A constituent in Reynoldsburg, OH

April 7

A lack of affordable and accessible childcare negatively impacts Ohio's economy and workforce. According to a report, childcare issues lead to an annual $5 billion loss for Ohio's economy due to working parents being forced to quit jobs, turn down promotions, or make other career sacrifices. This staggering economic cost underscores the urgent need for policies and investments that make high-quality childcare more available and affordable for Ohio families. Improving childcare accessibility would not only support working parents but also strengthen our state's economy and business competitiveness. It is imperative that policymakers prioritize this critical issue for the well-being of Ohioans and our state's prosperity.
