GREENWOOD, Ind. (WISH) As people head back to work in person, day cares for children in Indiana are filling up. However, some say they can’t find enough staff and partly blame current unemployment benefits that will soon change in Indiana.

In the meantime, some parents said they can’t work because of the lack of child care. Day cares admit the price of child care and pay of these employees is also part of the problem.
“It is that vicious cycle. I need care but I also need a job. But, I can’t afford care. I don’t have a job, but I can’t go get a job unless somebody watches my kid,” said Erin Sinders, the director of Adventures Childcare and Learning Center in Greenwood.

The birth rate and fertility rate in the United States fell to a new historic lows in 2020 although some believed the pandemic would lead to a baby boom, according to a provisional report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s National Center for Health Statistics.
The drop is related to the pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic but larger social factors are also contributing to the precipitous decline in births, some say.
The CDC announced last week in a May Vital Statistics Rapid Release that the provisional number of births in the U.S. in 2020 was over 3.6 million, a decline of about 4% from 2019 and the lowest number of births since 1979. Additionally, 2020 marked the sixth consecutive year that the number of births in the U.S. declined after an increase in 2014.
