Who Cares for Our Children?: The Child Care Crisis in the Other America
Valerie Polakow
Lack of access to affordable high quality child care is frequently the tipping point that catapults a family into poverty, joblessness, and homelessness. This work presents an account of the realities of the child care crisis, and a critique of public policy that points to the United States as an outlier in the international community.
