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.

Choosing between a paycheck and your child….not anymore
Without much help from the government, parents – especially moms -- have historically been left to
their own devices to navigate between raising their kids and holding down jobs. But in recent years,
more and more employers have stepped up to support working parents with childcare benefits, and for
many, it’s become the difference between collecting a paycheck or not. Reshma and Tim talk with
innovative leaders at Best Buy and Synchrony about what it means to truly care about your workers and
the payoffs when you do.
