US adults want the government to focus on child care costs, not birth rates, AP-NORC poll finds
UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – The AP-NORC poll finds 75% of U.S. adults say child care costs are a major problem and 55% want focus on improving women's health outcomes.
- An AP-NORC poll conducted June 5-9 surveyed 1,158 U.S. adults about birth rates and child care costs.
- The poll found relatively few Americans prioritize encouraging more births, while many focus on high child care and fertility treatment costs.
- About three-quarters consider child care costs a major problem, nearly half support insurance coverage of fertility treatments, and policies like paid family leave are popular.
- Trump signed an executive order in February to expand in vitro fertilization access and said the $5,000 baby bonus idea "sounds like a good idea."
- The findings imply Americans want government focus on affordability and health outcomes rather than boosting birth rates, despite conservative pronatalist efforts.
