The increased costs of child care and lack of access to it is causing increased strain for caregivers and working parents nationwide.

The cost of child care has increased 220% in the last three decades, according to Lisa Hamilton, president of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, which since 1990 has tracked this and other issues around child well-being in an annual Kids Count report.

PBS NewsHour digital anchor Nicole Ellis spoke with Lisa Hamilton and Julie Kashen, senior fellow and director for women's economic justice at The Century Foundation, about how child care access impacts job stability for parents.
