In this chapter from Investing in America’s Workforce: Improving Outcomes for Workers and Employers, Rob Grunewald looks both at how investments in early childhood development can reduce downstream costs and support workforce productivity decades later, and how the presence of quality childcare provides important workforce infrastructure that allows parents to enter the workforce and be productive at their jobs.

The chapter is part of Investing in America’s Workforce: Improving Outcomes for Workers and Employers, which will be released on November 9, 2018.
