In Vermont, a new $125 million annual investment aims to stabilize the workforce, create a more affordable Vermont, and expand financial assistance eligibility for families. They discuss the funding source, a new payroll tax on employers, and the benefits it will bring to families and early childhood educators.

In Japan, a child rearing support fund financed by higher health insurance premiums is set to tackle declining birth rates. The allowance coverage will be extended, income limits removed, and benefits increased for parents and young carers.

The hosts also touch on the disappointing response to a question about child care at a presidential debate and the ongoing efforts of Moms First to advocate for child care issues.
