Trainings: Lifting the Lid on Child Care Wages

Lifting the Lid on Child Care Wages is economic education that can help child care activists analyze current policy proposals and propose their own solutions. This training was designed in collaboration with Just Economics, whose work is to help organizers design campaigns based on a big picture understanding of the economy.

Through live illustrations and small and large group discussions, participants in this training are better able to:

• Understand the child care staffing crisis from an economic perspective.
• Analyze policy options and their effectiveness in improving child care wages in order to make effective arguments for change.
• Identify allies based on who is impacted by economic trends.
• To create alliances based on mutual economic interests.
• Engage broader support for a greater public investment to improve child care jobs.
