Childcare in America is a hot mess and senior care is no better. Parents and caregivers have known this, well, forever, but finally everyone gets it: no care, no work. It’s that simple. And that’s complicated. On Why Care?, co-hosts Reshma Saujani (founder, Marshall Plan for Moms and Girls Who Code) and Tim Allen (Care.com CEO) ask tough questions to understand why we can’t—or won’t—take care of our own and what this failure is costing us all. Guests include thought leaders, journalists, economists, employers, and those on the front lines as we try to decipher how we got here… and more importantly, how we can fix it.

Does the Modern Workplace Work for Parents
Since 2020 when everyone was sent home, there’s been one change after another in how we live and work, right up to our current “new normal” of remote or hybrid work. While it’s too soon to tell if this is a permanent change, given the overwhelming number of working parents, it begs the question: Does the modern workplace work for parents? Reshma, Tim and guest Blessing Adesiyan, founder of Mother Honestly (now MH Work Life), dig into new research from MH and Care.com that takes a hard look at where things stand. What are the pros and cons to having more flexibility and more control of your schedule? How has this enhanced your family, your career, or both? What about the gender gap? And while you may be flourishing, is your employer? Does the modern workplace work for them too? Three years of turmoil and change…are we finally on solid footing? Is everybody winning? Tune in and find out, and hear Reshma and Tim’s thoughts on the conversations they’ve had throughout Season 1 of Why Care?.

Childcare, a true bipartisan issue…so why hasn’t the government fixed it?
Supporting families is one of the few true bipartisan issues so why has the government still failed to create a care system that actually works? Sure, it’s a huge and complex undertaking, but America’s created challenging systems at scale before. We built a public school system. We built Social Security. We built Homeland Security. Why is care – something that impacts everyone and drives overall economic growth – a problem no one is taking on? Reshma and Tim get the inside scoop from two people who work directly with both Republican and Democratic leaders. Programming Note: This episode was recorded just prior to the November mid-term elections.

Choosing between a paycheck and your child….not anymore
Without much help from the government, parents – especially moms -- have historically been left to their own devices to navigate between raising their kids and holding down jobs. But in recent years, more and more employers have stepped up to support working parents with childcare benefits, and for many, it’s become the difference between collecting a paycheck or not. Reshma and Tim talk with innovative leaders at Best Buy and Synchrony about what it means to truly care about your workers and the payoffs when you do.
