Abstract

To (1) conduct research that will (a) provide three states with a quick turnaround analysis of the work schedules of essential workers (as defined because of the COVID-19 pandemic) who are parents and (b) analyze the nontraditional work patterns of parents working in what are now identified as essential-worker categories, based on industry and/or occupation, and (2) analyze data for substate areas to allow states to understand within-state variation, as well as variation by race/ethnicity, income, and other characteristics--all toward developing policies and practices to help meet these workers' child-care needs.
