Facilitating adequate childcare for essential employees is critical to ensure that Ireland can continue to respond to the Covid-19 crisis, according to the Economic and Social Research Institute.
A new ESRI report entitled entitled "Essential Employees During the Covid-19 Crisis" is based on an examination of workers defined as essential by the government in March.
It finds that a substantial proportion of essential employees are likely to have significant childcare needs that will intensified following the closure of schools and creches.
It also notes that many essential workers are struggling to pay for childcare because they are concentrated in lower paid occupations, such as retail and certain health care roles.
