Childcare in America is a hot mess and senior care is no better. Parents and caregivers have known this, well, forever, but finally everyone gets it: no care, no work. It’s that simple. And that’s complicated. On Why Care?, co-hosts Reshma Saujani (founder, Marshall Plan for Moms and Girls Who Code) and Tim Allen (Care.com CEO) ask tough questions to understand why we can’t—or won’t—take care of our own and what this failure is costing us all. Guests include thought leaders, journalists, economists, employers, and those on the front lines as we try to decipher how we got here… and more importantly, how we can fix it.

Childcare, a true bipartisan issue…so why hasn’t the government fixed it?
Supporting families is one of the few true bipartisan issues so why has the government still failed to
create a care system that actually works? Sure, it’s a huge and complex undertaking, but America’s
created challenging systems at scale before. We built a public school system. We built Social Security.
We built Homeland Security. Why is care – something that impacts everyone and drives overall
economic growth – a problem no one is taking on? Reshma and Tim get the inside scoop from two
people who work directly with both Republican and Democratic leaders. Programming Note: This
episode was recorded just prior to the November mid-term elections.
