Description
New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is championing a groundbreaking childcare initiative, aiming to cover childcare costs for children aged six weeks to five years. This ambitious plan, a six billion dollar campaign promise, is being discussed with businesses and community leaders. Mamdani met with top employers like Bank of America, Citibank, and Etsy, who expressed support for the initiative as it helps retain talent. A survey of 105 city businesses revealed varying childcare benefits, with most offering reimbursement for urgent care but few having on-site facilities. Mamdani plans to maximize private sector resources and address remaining gaps with additional city revenues.
