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.
