The outlook for corporate-sponsored child care

Article Abstract:

Employers face a difficult task in meeting the child care needs of workers. The Child Care Action Campaign, an advocacy group, predicts that $3 billion would be spent by US employers on child care in 1992. About 1,500 employers provide a form of on-site or subsidized child care program for its workers. Congress should grant a limited-frame tax credit to companies that open on-site child care centers, larger tax credit should be given to companies establishing an intergenerational care center and annual productivity awards should be given if child care benefits will be institutionalized.
