  • What will it take to get parents back to work? Since adults with at least one child under 6 in Southern Indiana Gateway (SIG) counties have a labor force participation rate of 72.3%, there are 1,700 parents of young children who are currently unemployed in SIG counties. To give all these parents the option to begin working full time, SIG counties would need to increase full-time child care seats by over 70%.

    There is also a need to support families with young children who are currently in the workforce. SIG counties have a higher percentage of children who need care because all parents in the household are in the workforce. Nearly three fourths (73%; 7,994) of all children under 6 have parents in their household working, compared to the state at two thirds (67%). SIG counties’ child care programs only have the capacity to serve 26% of these children. SIG counties will need 7,597 additional seats to provide for both the children who need care because parents work and the seats needed for parents who may want to work but are unemployed.
