Public policy scholar Chloe Gibbs will examine the role of public policy and public investment in children’s education in facilitating women’s employment through three related studies. The first study will explore the impact of COVID-19 school re-openings and whether classes are taught remotely or in-person on maternal employment. The second study will examine the impact of increasing Head Start programming from part- to full-day on maternal employment. The third study will examine how increasing the kindergarten school day from a half-day to a full day has affected maternal employment over time.
