Everyone agrees child care in America is broken. Not everyone agrees on where to begin.

New research from Harvard economist Jeff Liebman points at raising educator wages as the best first step. He surveyed 1,001 Massachusetts mothers and found that 89% would use formal child care if they could afford it. Only about half currently do.

Raising educator pay would not make care more expensive. It would make more of it exist. Better pay brings educators into the field and keeps them there. More educators means more classrooms. More classrooms means more seats for the families locked out today.
