Expand access to affordable childcare: Provide cost-saving, reliable childcare so parents can participate fully in the workforce without sacrificing financial stability and career advancement. Affordable childcare is essential to a functioning labor market. When childcare costs rival or exceed rent or mortgage payments, parents are pushed out of the workforce or forced into reduced hours, limiting household income and long-term career growth. Utah’s high childcare costs effectively function as a work penalty, particularly for young families, women, and single parents, even in a strong job market. Expanding access to affordable childcare strengthens workforce participation, supports employers facing labor shortages, and allows parents to work, advance, and contribute fully to Utah’s economy.
