Abstract

Families are under increasing stress from the rising cost of raising children, especially single-parent households and those where both parents work. Lack of paid family leave and dependable child care are issues receiving increased attention. A panel of experts explores different options for addressing these problems, including the issue of where funds may come from if added government spending is seen as part of the solution, as well as potential remedies that do not require government programs.
