The care economy is a broad set of policies aimed at helping parents and other caregivers, considered the great unfinished work of President Biden's domestic agenda.
Vice President Kamala Harris has made the care economy a central aspect of her campaign, frequently discussing making it more affordable to raise children.
Her proposal includes restoring an expanded child tax credit and a new $6,000 benefit for parents of newborns, along with housing cost reduction measures.
Harris's lack of specific proposals on child care and early childhood education has surprised progressive policy experts, echoing the previous administration's policy shortcomings.
