Many schools remain closed as COVID-19 cases increase. Parents struggle to manage the competing demands of work and their kids’ learning.

Those who work outside the home must often rely on family or pay for help to supervise kids.

The CDC says two out of every three caregivers are women, who support not only children but also adults with chronic illnesses.

But they may not get to those who need them most.

A new report quantifies the cost of women pulling back from work to care for kids during the pandemic.

Pulling back from work can put parents behind indefinitely on their career tracks.

It’s the latest example of how the pandemic is exacerbating inequality.

Workers hope to strengthen an industry that has become even more precarious.

The groups of families are a way to mitigate the cost of schooling at home.
