Research below shows fairly similar employment losses between parents & non-parents.
I believe the data & exercise, but I'm unsure how to square those results with survey evidence: Census Household Pulse Survey shows ~6.8 million Americans reporting disruption to childcare

And respondents self-report impact to their work availability:
If you focus just on reasons 4-6 which would be most likely to show up in employment data, that still seems like >1 million*, a much larger effect than above.
*Respondents can select multiple answers

When you ask Americans not working what their reasons are, a similar 6.75 million Americans report not working to care for children.
Maybe Americans responding to the survey would be unavailable for work bc of some other factor even if childcare was available? But it seems unusual that we would see such enormous divides between self-reported reasons and actual employment behavior
