US President, Joe Biden Signs Executive Order For Improved Child Care

President Joe Biden has  signed an executive order on Tuesday.

The order includes more than 50 directives to expand access to long-term care and child care.

It also aims to increase access to affordable child care for families, including military families, and improve working conditions for early educators, long-term care workers, and child care workers.

The White House is directing federal agencies to identify which grant programs can support child care and long-term care for individuals working on federal projects and consider requiring applicants seeking federal job-creating funds to expand access to care for their workers.

The order also directs the Office of Personnel Management to review child care subsidy policy and consider setting government-wide standards for federal government employees to access such assistance.
