SRES 938 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that it is the duty of the Federal Government to dramatically expand and strengthen the care economy.

SRES 938 is a Senate resolution expressing that the Federal Government should dramatically expand and strengthen the care economy. It calls for public investments to create universal access to free childcare, home and community-based elder care, and paid family and medical leave, while raising wages and improving working conditions for care workers - primarily women and people of color. The resolution also emphasizes building zero-carbon infrastructure, addressing historical inequities, and ensuring care services are inclusive for people with disabilities, older adults, and low-income communities. This resolution does not create new law but outlines a policy framework for federal action on care services.
