DURHAM — About five million U.S. households had a child under age 12 who was unable to attend childcare as a result of it being closed, unavailable, unaffordable or because parents were concerned about the child’s safety, according to new research released by the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.

This lack of access to childcare led to a loss of employment for one in five of those households.
