High-quality, affordable and accessible childcare has a significant impact on the economic growth and competitiveness of our companies and country. Currently, two-thirds of children ages 5 and under live in homes where both parents work, yet the number of affordable childcare spots has decreased. In Oregon, there are three children for every one childcare spot in the state. This lack of available care has a significant negative impact on the state's workforce. In response to this immediate and long-term need, in partnership with Early Learning Hub of Central Oregon, NeighborImpact Child Care Resources has launched a toolkit designed to assist employers in supporting child care for their workers. When companies provide child care, employee absences decrease by up to 30 percent and job turn over declines by as much as 60 percent. US businesses lose $3 billion annually due to employee absenteeism related to childcare, and 83 percent of millennials say that they would leave their jobs
