Why This Indicator Matters
This indicator captures career changes due to supporting children that are likely because of issues with childcare including: having to give up a career, turn down a job offer, or significantly change line of work. Reasons a parent might have to accommodate their child over their job include inadequate child care access, quality, and/or affordability of care.
