    New round of checks being discussed, led by Sen. Sanders. The last round of “stimulus checks” were not well targeted, much went to savings and to pay off debt among higher income households with no employment disruptions. via

    Congress should consider a temporary — but substantial — increase in childcare and school funding as a way to stimulate the economy.

    Access to paid leave still a problem for workers from low income households (pre pandemic), suggesting Families First Act fell short. Congress can prioritize families and low income with childcare funding and new paid leave provisions to get us through the rest of the pandemic.

    Highlights from our survey on paid leave and childcare: Lots of lingering childcare/caretaking challenges, which negatively affected maternal employment (dramatic declines in full time work). via

    Policymakers should consider the pro-natal vs. pro-work tradeoff carefully, because weakening work incentives would risk returning to unsuccessful welfare policies and higher poverty rates.

    As a Mom of 3 virtually-schooled kids and a consumer of research, I disagree with my colleague! You can protect the adults around children, you can't overcome the lost schooling (going on 7 months!). We are seeing tremendous negative impacts on kids

    Great from

    Policy trade-offs almost always exist, but sacrificing pro-work policies for pro-natal ones risks returning to failed safety-net policies of the past, when idleness was rewarded and work was discouraged.

    "Under both CTC expansions, this hypothetical mother faces weaker work incentives. While the effects may seem small, they raise important questions about trading a larger CTC for a weaker pro-work policy."

    "Under the existing system, a mother with two young children who moves from no work to part-time work will see $1.62 for every additional dollar earned, and $1.25 for each additional dollar earned if she starts working full-time."

    Yet to see a strong argument disputing our conclusions. I guess it is better to ignore them.....

    But the dashed lines in that chart are series breaks because of survey differences. You won't find much of a trend if you just look at the solid lines. and I used many thousands of words and a bunch of data sets to show this:

    Replying to @AngelaRachidi @AEI
    Wow, kind of an uplifting report! Have you seen any studies on effective programs, in times of economic shock, that get people back into the workforce -- to avoid the big issues of long-term unemployment?

    Are government mandates the answer? Wisconsin (where I live) has a statewide mask mandate and gathering limits, yet many people disregard them and there are NO enforcement mechanisms. WI remains a leader in COVID cases. People will do what they want, regrettably.
