President Biden is resurrecting proposals to reshape American life by addressing childcare, expanding preschool, and enhancing home aide accessibility for the elderly, as part of unfinished business from Build Back Better agenda.
The initiatives target the 'Sandwich Generation,' offering relief to those juggling care responsibilities for young children and aging parents. Biden aims to align the U.S. with other nations by providing comprehensive care support.
The care economy proposals could particularly benefit women, many of whom hold low-paying caregiving roles or face career interruptions. Biden seeks to invest billions into paid family leave, childcare subsidies, preschool, and home care.
The challenge lies in persuading Americans and lawmakers that caregiving investments are essential for economic growth and well-being, as Biden aims to pass ambitious legislation through Congress in a potential second term.
