Abstract: Approximately 3.6 million young Americans ages 18-24 are raising children, and another 900,000 in the same age range are non-custodial parents. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, many young parents faced significant challenges in balancing their jobs and child-rearing responsibilities with efforts to build additional skills and advance in their careers. As policymakers and workforce advocates prepare for a post-pandemic world, ensuring that skill-building policies are intentionally inclusive of this population can help to ensure a level playing field for all of America's workers, regardless of their age or parental status. Both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, policymakers will be called upon to take action in support of young parents and other constituents who are scrambling to find their economic footing. Three touchstones, based on proven strategies that can effectively serve young parents, will be crucial for policymakers and advocates to incorporate as they develop systems to help jobseekers find solid ground and build their future careers. The three touchstones are presented and described in this report: (1) Invest in accelerated pathways; (2) Respond to evolving digital inclusion needs; and (3) Provide high-quality childcare.
