Abstract:
This report is a tool to begin bridging the gap between economic development planning and the needs of working families with children. Policymakers, business leaders, urban planners and a host of other community leaders are already discussing ways to improve the economic vitality and quality of life for families in New Jersey. This report demonstrates that high-quality child care is a critical component for any comprehensive plan for sustained economic development, and shows that businesses in particular have a vested interest in ensuring that there is a high-quality and affordable child care system in New Jersey.
