Next100’s Levi Bohanan and GenForward’s Cathy Cohen Co-Author Fortune Piece on Young Adults Wanting Childcare Expansion

Next100 policy entrepreneur Levi Bohanan and GenForward’s executive director Dr. Cathy Cohen write in Fortune that policymakers should listen to young adults who deem access to affordable, high-quality childcare an important issue.

Bohanan and Cohen write:

“It turns out that millennials and Gen Zers care about childcare—a lot. Three in four millennial and Gen Z individuals who identify as women say that the lack of access to affordable childcare is a barrier to their professional success. The pandemic has proved them correct, and resoundingly so: Just last week, the U.S. Census Bureau released new data finding that lack of childcare has driven one in three millennial women out of the workforce.”
